WHÁT’S THE BEST DRESSING FOR CHICKEN TÁCO SÁLÁD?
Chicken Táco Sálád is often served with Cátáliná Dressing, but this isn’t just ány Cátáliná Dressing, it is BÁJÁ Cátáliná Dressing! Whát mákes this zesty Cátáliná Dressing “Bájá” style is the áddition of one táblespoon of our reserved Cátáliná márináde which boásts cilántro, lime, gárlic, chili powder, ground cumin, smoked pápriká, etc. By reserving one táblespoon for our dressing, we áre doubling the flávor without doubling the work.
DO I HÁVE TO ÁDD MÁYONNÁISE?
The creámy áspect of the Cátáliná Dressing comes from whisking in both máyonnáise ánd sour creám to our Cátáliná Dressing. I love this creámilicoius twist but if you prefer more of á vináigrette then feel free to repláce the máyo/sour creám with cánolá oil.
The dressing is super quick to whip up ánd the sweetness is á wonderful complement to the lime punch of the chicken, but just be áwáre thát people seem to háve á wide ránge of opinions ás to how sweet Cátáliná Dressing should be, so you probábly wánt to stárt with less sugár ánd ádd more to táste.
