INSTRUCTIONS
Combine lime juice and mustard in a small bowl. Gradually dribble in oil, whisking constantly. Add Cayenne and cumin; mix in 2 teaspoons cilantro. Set aside. Tear lettuce leaves into bite sized pieces and divide among 4 salad plates. Arrange mounds of cucumber, tomato and avocado over lettuce on each plate. Spinkle minced onion over vegetable mounds. Drizzle 1/4 of the dressing over each salad and scatter pumpkin seeds and remaining cilantro on top. Variations: Substitute torn or chopped mustard greens for part of the lettuce. Use half red cherry and half yellow pear tomatoes.

The dressing is a tart, spicy lime vinaigrette-a little goes a long way.
