Cenote is a underground lake and the name of our fave mexican resteraunt here in north county. I have to admit not going there since going raw as i was weak and didnt want to miss my favorite dishes, but we went last night and i had their chopped salad…and OMG! ill be having this at home this week for lunches

i used the ranch dressing recipe from this site as the chef at cinote said his dressing was a ranch mixed with chipoltle salsa

I was craving indian food and had some mexican leftovers that i “respiced” wow! it hit the spot! and i was thrilled to be able to use left overs in a different cultural way!!

This is an adaptation on Fredirique Patenadues (sp?) his is called fruit soup and wow…his has pinneapple also. You can really make this with whatever fruit you have.
