Mixed Greens with Spicy Lime Vinaigrette
Ingredients
Juice of one lime
1 small garlic clove, crushed to a paste
½ tsp coarse salt
½ tsp black pepper
¼ tsp cumin
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
1 packet Splenda
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
4 cups fresh mixed greens, washed and dry
Directions
- Finely mince the garlic on a cutting board, top it with the coarse salt. Lay the blade of chef's knife flat across the minced garlic, press down, and repeatedly draw the edge of the blade across the garlic in a stroking motion to crush the garlic and salt into a slightly chunky paste.
- Place the garlic and salt paste into small bowl, add the lime juice, pepper and spices, and the Splenda and combine. Set aside for at least 5 minutes to marry the flavors.
- Just before serving, whisk in the olive oil to make a smooth emulsion.
- Pour dressing over greens, toss to coat lightly and evenly, and serve.
