Kaleidoscope Salad

1. 1

   Microwave limes for about 30 seconds to release essential oils, and set aside just long enough so that they are cool enough to handle.

2. 2

   Turn on the blender and while it's running, add 1 at a time through the feed tube, the parsley, chives, and garlic, and blend together until a smooth paste has formed.

3. 3

   At this point the limes should be cool enough to squeeze.

4. 4

   With the power still on, squeeze the lime juice through the blender feed-tube, and then very slowly add the buttermilk until the mixture thickens and can coat the back of a spoon.

5. 5

   Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper.

6. 6

   Set aside in refrigerator until needed.

7. 7

   (When chilled, the dressing should resemble something like mayonnaise.)

8. 8

   Toss together lettuce, spinach, onion, celery, chives, and cucumbers.

9. 9

   Fold in peas, corn, pineapple, cranberries, grape tomatoes, and tomato wedges.

10. 10

    Serve family style with dressing on the side.
