Preheat the fryer. In a small mixing bowl, combine the mirlitons, tomatoes, red onions, garlic, and parsley. Toss the vegetables with extra-virgin olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Marinate the crawfish tails in the buttermilk, seasoned with Essence. Allow the crawfish to marinate for 10 minutes. Mix the cornmeal and masa together. Season the mixture with Essence. Remove the crawfish from the buttermilk and add to the cornmeal mixture and toss to coat evenly. Shake off any excess. Deep fry a few at a time until they pop to the surface and are golden, about 1 to 2 minutes. Drain on paper-lined plate. Season with Essence. Toss the greens with the dressing. Season with salt and pepper. This recipe yields 4 salads.
