Instructions: Combine lime juice and mustard in a small bowl. Gradually dribble in oil, whisking constantly. Add Cayenne and cumin; mix in 2 teaspoons cilantro.

Set aside.

Tear lettuce leaves into bite sized pieces and divide among 4 salad plates.

Arrange mounds of cucumber, tomato and avocado over lettuce on each plate.

Spinkle minced onion over vegetable mounds. Drizzle 1/4 of the dressing over each salad and scatter pumpkin seeds and remaining cilantro on top.

Variations: Substitute torn or chopped mustard greens for part of the lettuce. Use half red cherry and half yellow pear tomatoes.

NOTES : Rather than chopping the cucumber, onion, tomatoes and avocado as I have here, you might slice these vegetables and arrange them in
concentric circles. The dressing is a tart, spicy lime vinaigrette-a
little goes a long way.
