Ingredients
- 2 limes
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley leaves
- 1/4 cup fresh chives
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1/8 cup rice wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh ginger
- 1/2 cup grapeseed or canola oil
- 2 ounces bottled water
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 6 cups loosely packed red or green leaf lettuce, washed and dried
- 2 large tomatoes cut in wedges
- 2 cucumbers, peeped and cut into 1/4-inch thick slices
- 2 grapefruit, peeled and pith removed, cut into segments
Instructions
- Microwave limes for about 30 seconds to release essential oils, and set aside to cool.
- Turn on the blender and through the feed-tube, add the parsley, chives, honey, rice wine vinegar, and fresh ginger, and blend together until a smooth paste has formed. At this point the limes should be cool enough to squeeze. With the power on, add the lime juice through the blender feed-tube, and then very slowly add the oil and water until the mixture thickens and can coat the back of a spoon. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper. Set aside in refrigerator until needed. (When chilled, the dressing should resemble something like mayonnaise.)
- In a large bowl, toss lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, and grapefruit with enough dressing to coat.
