Receipt: Cilantro Lime Dressing

If you love New Mexican food you're familiar with the traditional garnish--a blob of shredded lettuce. Boring.

The other day I made some red chile enchiladas. I prepared the shredded lettuce, cause, well, it's gotta be there. It adds variety of color, and a bite of it can cool down the mouth if the chile's too hot.

But, so boring!

I made up a dressing for the stuff. Can't use a regular salad dressing--that just tastes wrong. But this dressing compliments New Mexican cuisine.

Cilantro Lime Dressing

Ingredients:

juice of 1 lime
1 teaspoon water
leaves from about 10 stems of cilantro, minced
dash of garlic powder
dash of salt

Mix all ingredients, then toss with 2 cups of shredded lettuce. Enough to garnish four enchilada plates. Enjoy!
