If you’re a fan of crunch, you’ll love this salad, which offers varying levels of texture: crisp romaine lettuce, heartily crunchy cabbage, and snappy English cucumber. We use refrigerated fresh salsa as the dressing, along with lime wedges for spritzing over the top of each salad. Any heat level for the salsa will work here, so choose what you enjoy best, from mild to extra spicy. And don’t forget the scallions and cilantro; they punch up the flavor considerably.
