This is adapted from a recipe that appeared in Cuisine at Home. The original used fresh tilapia that was deep fried in oil. Since I had frozen breaded cod on hand and wanted to reduce the calories a bit I elected to bake the fish. The recipe makes two huge main dish salads or four medium size servings. There will be dressing leftover but it is good on any type of salad. The heat level on jalapeno peppers can vary dramatically from mild to hot. Taste a small piece of pepper and adjust the amount to your liking. The original recipe called for using all cabbage for the greens. I elected to cut way back on cabbage and add bibb/red lettuce instead. I also added avocado, zucchini, and scallions. As for a wine we had a Thomas Coyne Livermore Valley 2009 Pinot Blanc.

Very, very good! The dressing is outstanding, and I would make that again and again. The only thing I would change next time, would be to save the zucchini for another meal ~I didn't care for it in this salad. I used frozen panko breaded cod fillets and baked them, too. Thanks for taking time to post this recipe. It is certainly a keeper.1 replyYo he cocinado/probado esta receta
