Mexican Chopped Salad. It's the sort of plate of mixed greens I can never get enough of; crisp, dynamically shaded, stacked with flavor. Eating it, makes me feel vivacious and solid. The dressing is light and brilliant, with only a couple of fixings; crisp lime juice, nectar, a clove of garlic and a sprinkle of oil. A spot of cumin alongside ocean salt and naturally ground dark pepper complete it off consummately. I cherish basic formulas like this.
