Toss with the 1 ounce of the Creole vinaigrette and coat the ingredients then transfer the dressed salad onto a chilled salad plate of your choice.
Shred the manchego over the surface of the salad with a fine zester or cheese grater.

To assemble the vinaigrette place all ingredients in a small bowl and whisk to combine and distribute evenly.
Let vinaigrette sit at room temperature for 1 hour prior to use to let flavors marry and mellow out.
