Jalapeno Garlic Green Salad


This is Dionne's recipe -- she even makes it better than me but we still make it from time to time.

Romaine lettuce -- 1 nice bunch
1-2 jalapenos
2 tsps minced garlic
1 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp lime juice
salt and pepper to taste

For the jalapeno -- it depends on how hot you want your salad. You can remove the seeds if you want a milder taste. I always rinse and slice in half the long ways and use a spoon to remove the seeds then I slice. Some might prefer to chop to get smaller pieces...again for a milder taste.

Clean and dry your lettuce. Add you chopped jalapeno. Coat lettuce with olive oil and lime juice. Sprinkle with a good amount of pepper and a dash of salt. Then add garlic and toss again.

This is best on the first day or you can store in airtight container (usually good for a few days)
