1 Ripe mango, cut into 2 inch sticks
1 Seedless cucumber, cut into 2 inch sticks
1 Red papaya, cut into 2 inch sticks
1 Lime to extract the juice
8 cups Baby romaine lettuce
2 T Mint leaves, schiffonade (finely minced)
Tajin dry chile-lime powder to taste

1 T Dijon mustard
5 T Mango puree
1 T Agave nectar
1 cup Premium Extra Virgin Olive Oil
3 T Apple Cider vinegar

Building the Salad
1) Combine mint schiffonade with romaine lettuce and add salt and pepper to taste in a large salad bowl.
2) In another medium mixing bowl, combine jicama, orange segments, mango, red papaya and cucumber.
3) Dress fruit-vegetable mixture with Tajin dry chile-lime powder, salt to taste and lime juice from one lime. Tajin powder will provide a salty-chile-lime component to contrast the sweetness and crisp texture of the fruit and cucumber.
4) Combine romaine lettuce with fruit-vegetable mix.
5) Garnish with more mint and top with Los Altos Queso Panela 2 inch sticks.
6) Serve with the Mango Vinaigrette
