Years ago, I had a delicious salad at El Torito Grill in Newport Beach. This is the recipe I made up to make at home!
Ingredients
1 small can diced green chiles
1/3 roasted pepitas (pumpkin seeds), not salted
2 garlic cloves, minced
½ tsp sea salt
¼ ground black pepper
1 cup olive oil
¼ cup red wine vinegar
½ cup cotija cheese
2/3 cup cilantro, stems removed
1 ½ cups plain yogurt
Directions
Add first eight ingredients to food processor and pulse until well blended. Add cilantro, blend well. Add yogurt, blend until smooth. Store in airtight container such as a mason jar. Makes 1 quart.
