Sliver the scallions [green or spring onions] vertically into thin strips and then chop into 1-2" pieces. Sprinkle over the lettuce in a salad bowl.

Chop fresh cilantro leaves and stems; sprinkle over salad and toss. Have the salad sit refrigerated for about an hour to let the onion and cilantro flavors develop.

In a small jar with a tight fitting lid, add the dressing ingredients and cover. Shake vigourously until the dressing emulisifies. Pour over the salad, toss lightly and serve.
