I call this Mexican at time, but I also serve this all the time. It is a great healthy salad with a light dressing. Great with just about Everything. Make the dressing ahead and then just make the salad that night. It couldn’t be easier. But it has amazing flavor

- 2Ok … if you want add some red pepper flakes to the dressing to add a kick, just optional … it is up to you.
- 3Now the salad, Mix in a large bowl the romaine, avacado, shallots, olives and cilantro. Add the dressing and top with the crushed croutons. Perfect Salad!
