Tomato and Asadero Salad With Basil image

Mexican food invites flavor and texture, both of which this salad gives in great abundance. For the dressing: The stronger the better - Smoky Chipotle- Balsamic, Chorizo, Roasted Garlic, Pickled Jalapeno, Lime-Cilantro. For this salad, I like the Lime-Cilantro which gives a tangy taste. I also cheat and add sliced raw red onions and sometimes crisp bacon pieces.
