Thought this was a great salad. We love Spanish chorizo and Manchego, so knew it would be up our alley. DH requested the red pepper be raw, and it worked out fine - gave it a nice crunch. The lemon marries well with everything, but the chorizo is really the star, so much so that I think you could add double the amount.

This salad was very well enjoyed and is a definite keeper! I had never had a lettuce based salad that contained sweet potato and found that it worked particularly well with the chorizo. I used a Portuguese chourico and instead of manchego cheese, I used feta which I had on hand. I had a hard time finding basil paste, so I substituted "Fresh Basil Dressing" which is from "Natasha's Tomato, Avocado, Basil Salad" recipe. I will still be on the look-out for basil paste as it sounds like a great ingredient to have on hand. I also added some mini kalamata olives. Thank you Sue Lau for sharing!
