In fact the last time I went to Wildfire was 2 years ago, which was when we had our engagement party. But back to the salad... Wildfire has an amazing chopped salad. The citrus lime vinaigrette is what completes this salad for me and I remember several years ago, I even called the local restaurant requesting to speak to the chef in hopes of getting the recipe for the vinaigrette. But no such luck.Forwarding to present day, I was reminded of the restaurant by a friend and all the memories of this salad came flooding back. I checked out their website to see if any changes have been made to their menu. Little did I know that since the last time I've been to Wildfire, they began bottling the citrus lime vinaigrette. I loved so much!
That same day, I made a stop at Wildfire on the way home and picked up 2 bottles of this prized vinaigrette. Tonight, I used it and recreated the Wildfire Chopped Salad... and boy, it definitely hit the spot.
Here's the recipe for Wildfire's Signature Chopped Salad
(which is also printed on the bottled dressing label)
1 bag of mixed greens or chopped romaine lettuce
1 cup chopped roasted chicken
1 avocado diced
1 tomato, seeded & diced
1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese
1/4 cup cooked bacon, crumbled
1 scallon, sliced thinly
1/2 cup super sweet corn
fried corn tortilla strips, for garnish
1-2 tablespoons Wildfire Citrus Lime Vinaigrette
Toss all ingredients in a large salad bowl.
Serve immediately.

Sounds like a wonderful salad. I am glad you were able to recreate it at home.

Wildfire is one of my favorite restaurants so we probably live not far from each other!
