Instructions

1. In a small bowl, mix together minced garlic, lime juice, vinegar, and spices.

Comments

Serving a mixed greens salad with a meal featuring Southwestern flavors? Use this dressing to compliment the meal.

I like to make up a bowl of mixed greens and toss in this dressing. I fry up a white fish fillet and serve on top of the greens.

This is enough dressing for one head of lettuce. I use olive oil but you could substitute your favorite vegetable based oil, like safflower oil.

Croutons are a really nice compliment to this dressing.
