2 limes
1/4 cup fresh parsley leaves
1/4 cup fresh chives
3 tablespoons honey
1/8 cup rice wine vinegar
1 tablespoon chopped fresh ginger
1/2 cup grapeseed or canola oil
2 ounces bottled water
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
6 cups loosely packed red or green leaf lettuce, washed and dried
2 large tomatoes cut in wedges
2 cucumbers, peeped and cut into 1/4-inch thick slices
2 grapefruit, peeled and pith removed, cut into segments

1
Microwave limes for about 30 seconds to release essential oils, and set aside to cool.
2
Turn on the blender and through the feed-tube, add the parsley, chives, honey, rice wine vinegar, and fresh ginger, and blend together until a smooth paste has formed.
3
At this point the limes should be cool enough to squeeze.
4
With the power on, add the lime juice through the blender feed-tube, and then very slowly add the oil and water until the mixture thickens and can coat the back of a spoon.
5
Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper.
6
Set aside in refrigerator until needed.
7
(When chilled, the dressing should resemble something like mayonnaise.)
8
In a large bowl, toss lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, and grapefruit with enough dressing to coat.
