- Ladle Cilantro-Pesto dressing on each salad and sprinkle each dish with cotija cheese and tortilla strips.
- Arrange four red pepper strips like spokes on top of each salad and garnish with pepitas.
- For the Dressing.
- Place chile, pepitas, garlic, pepper, salt, oil, vinegar and cotija cheese in a blender or food processor; and blend for about 10 seconds, then add cilantro, bit by bit, until smoothly blended.
- Place mayonnaise and water in large stainless-steel bowl and whisk until smooth.
- Add blended chile mixture and mix thoroughly.
- If the dressing is made ahead, place in an airtight container and refrigerate. May be stored up to three days.
