I’m a huge fan of a traditional Italian Caprese salad. We created a delicious salad for this menu inspired by the traditional Caprese salad but with a southwestern twist. Fresh juicy sliced tomatoes are topped with fresh cilantro and Queso Fresco and are dressed with a zesty cilantro-lime dressing. This salad was featured on our Coco Disney dinner.
