Wednesday, May 10, 2006 - Page updated at 12:00 AM Recipe: Mixed Greens with Mango, Chipotle Cheese and Citrus DressingServes 4 to 6 Citrus Dressing: - 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice - 2 teaspoons orange juice concentrate - ½ teaspoon chili powder - ½ teaspoon kosher salt - Freshly ground black pepper - 2 ½ tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil Salad: - 1 ripe mango
- ½ cup slivered yellow or red bell pepper - 1 container (6 ounces) Beecher's chipotle-flavored cheese curds (see Kitchen Notes**) - 2 tablespoons roasted green pumpkin seeds (see Kitchen Notes***) 1. To prepare dressing: Whisk together lime juice, orange juice concentrate, chili powder, salt and pepper. Slowly add olive oil, whisking well. Refrigerate. 2. To prepare salad: Cut a thin slice from the ends of the mango. Set on one end and slice away the peel. Then slice large sections off of the center pit. Cut into ¼-inch wide pieces. Cover and refrigerate. 3. Remove stems from greens and tear larger leaves into pieces. Put into a bowl, cover with a paper towel and refrigerate up to 3 hours. Prepare bell pepper and refrigerate. 4. About 30 minutes before serving, remove cheese from refrigerator and drain. 5. To serve salad: Toss the greens with a little of the dressing and divide among 4 plates. Top with mango, yellow pepper and cheese. Sprinkle with pumpkin seeds and drizzle remaining dressing over the top. Times Kitchen Notes: * A blend of greens such as spring salad, arugula and romaine compliments the other ingredients in this salad. ** Pepper jack cheese, cut into small cubes or thin strips, can replace the Beecher's curds in this salad. *** Green pumpkin seeds can be found at Whole Foods or Metropolitan Market, as well as health food stores. Toasted pine nuts can be substituted.
