Taqueria 27’s Butter Leaf Lettuce Salad $4.50 small, $9 large Yes, Taqueria 27 locations along the Wasatch Front are known for their inventive tacos and mind-bending guacamole creations, but diners in the know should look to the salad menu for real kick. The T27 salad secret lies in the green chile Gorgonzola dressing. Rich, creamy and pungent blue cheese melds with spicy chile that’s generously distributed on crisp butter leaf lettuce, and tossed with fresh pears for a hint of sweetness and pumpkin seeds for crunch. The small order of this punchy salad is the perfect complement to any T27 taco; the large serves as an entrée as you sip margaritas on the patio. Multiple locations, Taqueria27.com (Heather L. King)
