Optional: diced chicken, shredded cheese, lime zest
Dressing - Blend in blender or Magic Bullet, then pour over salad and toss.
6 T fresh lime juice (about 3 juicy limes) or bottled is ok

2 t sugar or other sweetener
3/4 cup oil (I use grapeseed, canola is fine. Don't use olive)

Sara talked about growing gardens in small spaces and got us all excited to try and start our own.
