Wordless Wednesday: Jalapeño Skirt Salad from Paesanos
When the weather warms up, a refreshing salad and a nice patio can be quite appealing. Good thing Paesanos in Midtown has both and happens to be in my neighborhood. The Jalapeño Skirt Salad features soy-ginger skirt steak, mango, avocado, red onion and tomatoes, and is topped off with roasted jalapeño-lime dressing and gorgonzola cheese. Yum.
If it’s been a long week, I also recommend the house made sangria!
Enjoy.
