Ingredients:

Serving

oil, for frying
1 cup homemade mayonnaise
1/2 cup finely chopped green onions
1 lemon, juiced
1 tsp dijon mustard
1 tbsp minced garlic
salt and pepper
16 okra pods, washed and cut in half lengthwise
1 cup buttermilk
essence , recipe follows
1/2 cup cornmeal
1/2 cup flour
4 cups assorted baby greens
4 grilled green onions
2 tbsp chopped chives
1/2 cup grated parmigiano-reggiano cheese
2 1/2 tbsp paprika
2 tbsp salt
2 tbsp garlic powder
1 tbsp black pepper
1 tbsp onion powder
1 tbsp cayenne pepper
1 tbsp dried leaf oregano
1 tbsp dried thyme

Directions:

Preheat the deep-fat fryer. In a mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, green onions, lemon juice, mustard and garlic together. Mix thoroughly. Season with salt and pepper. Marinate the okra in the buttermilk, seasoned with Essence. Set aside in the refrigerator. Marinate for 30 minutes. Combine the cornmeal and flour together. Season with Essence. Dredge the okra in the cornmeal-flour mixture, coating completely. Fry the okra, split-side down, for about 2 minutes, or until golden. Remove the okra from the fryer and drain on a paper-lined plate. Season with Essence. Toss the greens with the dressing. Season with salt and pepper. Mound the greens in the center of the plate. Arrange the okra around the greens. Garnish with the grilled green onions, chives, and cheese.
