Steps:

Core both heads of lettuce, clean and chop into one inch pieces. Spin chopped lettuce dry in a salad spinner until completely dry (or open bags). In a large bowl, toss all salad ingredients together and mix well. Add dressing and toss right before ready to serve. Serve to guests on chilled plates. DRESSING: Put everything but the cilantro into a blender and puree until smooth. Stir in the cilantro; then taste and adjust seasonings if needed. Shake before serving.

LEMON-GARLIC KALE SALAD

Here's a snappy, fresh side dish or a light supper: a lemony green salad, rich with tang and crunch. The dressing is nothing more than lemon juice, olive oil, garlic and salt. Its simplicity makes it perfect.

Lemon-Garlic Kale Salad image

Steps:

In a toaster oven or skillet, toast almonds until golden brown and fragrant. Set aside to cool.
In a bowl, combine lemon juice and 1 heaping teaspoon salt. Slowly whisk in olive oil. Add garlic cloves and set aside to steep.
Working in batches, cut the kale into thin ribbons: gather a large handful of leaves, bunch together tightly, and use the other hand to slice into 1/4-inch-thick pieces. This need not be done very precisely or neatly; the idea is to end up with a kind of slaw. (Recipe can be made up to this point 1 day ahead. Keep kale and dressing refrigerated separately.)
Place chopped kale in a very large bowl. Sprinkle surface with almonds and then with cheese, if using. Remove and discard garlic cloves from dressing. Pour half the dressing over the salad and toss. Taste for dressing and salt and add more as needed, tossing to coat thoroughly. Serve within 1 hour.
