- Juice of one lemon
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- Salt and pepper
- 16 okra pods, washed and cut in half lengthwise

Directions
- Preheat the 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 the flour 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.
