NOTES:
- You can substitute any protein with this dish or opt to leave it out, as this salad is very satisfying on its own.
- I’ve prepared this dish using Shallots and prefer them to be CRISPY as a topping
- We love the heat of the Jalapeno – but feel free to remove the vein & seeds to reduce heat
- *Add Goat Cheese to take this Salad to another stratosphere!! Seriously, it’s that good!!
