- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed orange juice
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 6 pickled chipotle peppers (see Note), minced
- 2 bunches flat leaf parsley leaves and tender stems only, washed and dried
- 1 bunch fresh mint, leaves only, washed and dried
- Bring a small pan of lightly salted water to a boil.
- Blanch the sliced garlic for about 3 minutes, and drain.
- Set aside.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, orange juice, salt, and pepper.
- Drizzle in the olive oil in a slow, thin stream, whisking all the time, until emulsified.
- Stir in the minced chiles.
- Place washed and dried greens in a bowl, add the slivered garlic and the dressing, and toss to coat evenly.
- Place a mound of greens on each plate.
- Note: To pickle chipotle peppers, combine 6 peppers that have been stemmed and, if desired, seeded with 2 cups of red wine vinegar in a small non reactive saucepan.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat so the vinegar is simmering.
- Cook, covered, for 5 minutes.
- Set aside to cool, then store in a glass jar in the refrigerator for up to 3 months.
