Chipotle Fish Taco Salad with Herbed Lime Cilantro Yogurt Dressing ~ Sumptuous Spoonfuls #seafood #salad #recipe


If there’s anything I love more than a taco, it’s a taco salad. Give me greens, some good things to put on them and an awesome homemade dressing and I’m a happy girl.

I had some more fish strips left after making those Chipotle Fish Tacos, so I decided a fish taco salad was in order. I found the dressing recipe over at 17 Recipes and was soooo intrigued by it. I’ve made lots of yogurt dressings, both sweet and savory, but this one just struck me as a treasure as soon as I saw it. I knew it would be just the thing to round out my fish taco salad. The truly amazing thing was, the dressing was so tasty that I felt the fish, the greens and a couple veggie additions were all it needed, making this an uber-healthy, super scrumptious meal. You can, if you like, add some chips or fried tortilla strips, but try the salad without them. You might be surprised just how lovely (addictive!) it tastes without them.

If you’re a visual person like me, add a few fresh, edible flowers to treat your eyes as well as your tongue.
