Caribbean Honey Lime Greens rec.travel.caribbean/Dbilderbck/1997 Serves 8 or more
This salad is actually a recipe modified from a Key West cookbook. It is fabulous and draws raves, in part because the presentation looks so good..
Salad Dressing: in a blender until pureed: 2 cloves garlic minced 1 cup extra virgin olive oil (you can get by with less) 1/2 cup fresh lime juice 4 Tbsp honey 4 Tbsp chopped red onion salt and pepper to taste
Greens 8 cups mixed exotic greens (red leaf, arugula, European mix, etc.) 1 cup chopped pistachios or other nuts (pecans,almonds) 2 cups peeled Valencia oranges, chopped in bite size chunks generous handful of baking currants (Sunmaid Baking Zante Currants) 8 sprigs mint leaves chopped
Arrange greens on plates. Top with oranges and raisins, nuts and mint. Serve with dressing. Alternatively, you could toss it all with the dressing.
