Best Bibb And Citrus Salad With Sesame Crunch Recipes

BIBB-AND-CITRUS SALAD

Steps:

• Make the Cranberry-Dijon Vinaigrette: Place dried cranberries, shallot, red wine vinegar, and orange juice in a food processor; let stand 10 minutes. Add olive oil and Dijon mustard. Pulse to finely chop, 4 to 5 times. Season with salt and pepper.
• Gently toss together lettuce, radicchio, oranges, grapefruits, celery, and Cranberry-Dijon Vinaigrette. Season with salt and pepper.
• Serve topped with goat cheese.

CITRUS SALAD WITH TAHINI AND CASHEW-SESAME CRUNCH

Steps:

• For the cashew-sesame crunch: Heat the olive oil in a medium heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat until shimmering, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the cashews, stirring continuously, until lightly golden, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the sesame seeds and crushed red pepper. Cook, stirring continuously, until the nuts are golden and the mixture is fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Remove from the heat and stir in the maple syrup. Season with kosher salt. Set aside to cool.
• Meanwhile, make the salad: Combine the tahini with the orange zest and lemon zest in a medium bowl. Add half of the orange juice and half of the lemon juice. Slowly whisk in 1/4 cup water until the sauce is smooth and fluffy. Season with kosher salt. Set aside.
• Cut the ends off the 3 remaining oranges. Stand each orange on one end and cut away the peel and white pith, following the contour of the fruit with a very sharp paring knife. Work from top to bottom, rotating the orange as you go. Slice the oranges into 1/4-inch-thick rounds and discard any seeds. Set aside.
• Thinly slice the radicchio with a mandoline or sharp knife and transfer to another medium bowl. Add the olive oil and the remaining lemon juice and orange juice and toss until combined.
• Spread the tahini sauce on a serving platter to fully cover the surface. Arrange the orange slices on top and sprinkle with sea salt. Mound the radicchio on top in a generous pile and sprinkle with sea salt. Scatter the mint leaves and cashew-sesame crunch over the top.

BIBB-AND-CITRUS SALAD WITH SESAME CRUNCH

Steps:

• Sesame Crunch:Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine almonds, sesame seeds, coriander, sugar, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper in a bowl. Add egg white and stir to combine. Spread mixture into a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet.
• Roast, stirring once, until golden and crunchy, about 12 minutes. If sticking to pan, scrape up with a spatula, then let cool completely. Crunch can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature up to 1 week. (Makes 3/4 cup.)
• Salad:Remove peel and white pith from grapefruits. Slice 2 into 1/4-inch-thick rounds. Hold remaining grapefruit over a bowl and cut between membranes, allowing segments to fall into bowl. Squeeze juice into bowl.
• Whisk together mustard, vinegar, 2 teaspoons juice, and coriander. Gradually whisk in both oils until thick and emulsified. Season with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• For the salad: Combine the coleslaw mix, kale, almonds, onions and clementines in a large salad bowl. Toss with the vinaigrette and serve.

BIBB LETTUCE SALAD

Steps:

• Carefully cut out the core from each head of lettuce and separate the leaves, but keep each head of lettuce together; discard any tough outer leaves. Because each head of lettuce will be reassembled, the easiest way to work is with one head at a time. First, place the leaves in a bowl of cold water to refresh them and remove any dirt, then lift out and spin-dry in a salad spinner.
• Place the leaves from a single head of lettuce in a bowl. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt, a few grinds of pepper, 1 1/2 teaspoons of the shallots and chives, and 1 tablespoon each of the parsley, tarragon, and chervil. Then toss gently with 2 tablespoons of the vinaigrette and 1 teaspoon of lemon juice. Repeat with the remaining heads.
• For each serving, arrange the outer lettuce leaves as a base on the plate and rebuild each head of lettuce, ending with the smallest, most tender leaves.

STACKED BUTTER LETTUCE SALAD

Steps:

• In a small bowl, whisk together vinegar, lime juice, ginger, and sugar. Gradually whisk in oil, adding it in a slow, steady stream, and continue whisking until mixture is emulsified. Season with salt and pepper.
• Place avocado in the center of a chilled serving plate. Season with salt and pepper. Beginning with the smallest lettuce leaves, add to dressing just to coat. Place dressed leaves around and over avocado. Repeat the dressing and layering process working from smallest to largest leaves. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and sea salt. Serve immediately.

BIBB LETTUCE SALAD WITH CANDIED WALNUTS, ORANGES, AND FETA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325°F. Scatter nuts on rimmed baking sheet. Add 2 tablespoons water and sugar; toss until sugar dissolves and syrup coats nuts. Roast until water evaporates and nuts are crisp, stirring once, about 15 minutes. Cool on sheet.
• Whisk vinegar, orange peel, and mustard in small bowl to blend. Gradually whisk in walnut and olive oils. Season dressing with salt and pepper.
• Combine lettuce and cheese in large bowl. Cut peel and pith off oranges. Cut between membranes, releasing orange segments. Add segments and walnuts to salad. Toss with enough dressing to coat. Serve, passing remaining dressing.

SESAME-KALE CRISPS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200 degrees.
• In a large bowl, drizzle kale with oil, lemon juice, and sesame seeds. Season with salt. Toss until evenly coated.
• Transfer to a rimmed baking sheet and bake for 30 minutes. Remove from oven and, using a spatula, flip kale leaves over. Return to oven and continue cooking until kale is dry and crisp, 20 to 25 minutes more. Let cool completely. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
