Mixed Salad Greens with Tropical Vinaigrette
Serves: 6 to 8
Ingredients
PreparationIngredients
- 16 ounces mixed spring greens Add to list
- 1 cup tropical fruit juice (mango, passion, guava or tropical juice blend) Add to list
- 2 cloves garlic, crushed Add to list
- 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger Add to list
- 1/4 cup cilantro leaves and stems, finely chopped Add to list
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin Add to list
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt Add to list
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly cracked pepper Add to list
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice Add to list
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil Add to list
Preparation
Rinse and dry greens in a salad spinner.
Combine fruit juice, garlic, ginger, cilantro, cumin, salt, pepper and lemon juice in a mixing bowl. Gradually whisk in olive oil. You may do this by hand with a wire whisk, or in a food processor. The key is gradual addition of the oil while continuously whisking (a good vinaigrette shows no separation between oil and vinegar).
Pour dressing over greens and toss lightly.
