CITRUS SPINACH SALAD WITH FETA AND CRANBERRY DRESSING



Citrus Spinach Salad with Feta and Cranberry Dressing image

Summer citrus salads are always a must in our Texas heat. This spinach and grapefruit salad is a quick and easy fix that can be whipped up easily with most items you already keep in your pantry/kitchen. I can easily have this as a meal in itself but it works great as a side salad with a cool cucumber/alfalfa/tzatziki 1/2 sandwich. The options are endless and yours to create. Add some sliced strawberries for sweetness and bright, festive color.

Time 25m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

½ cup coarsely chopped walnuts
1 orange
2 pink grapefruit
1 (5 ounce) package baby spinach leaves
½ cup crumbled feta cheese
2 tablespoons cranberry juice, or as needed
½ cup olive oil
2 tablespoons turbinado sugar (such as Sugar in the Raw®)
1 teaspoon dried parsley
½ teaspoon kosher salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spread walnuts on a baking sheet.
  • Toast in the preheated oven until golden and fragrant, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove and set aside.
  • Zest orange and reserve. Slice the tops and bottoms of grapefruit and cut along the curves, top-down, to remove skins and piths. Repeat with orange. Cut fruits into segments on a plate or shallow bowl, cutting from connective membranes and catching any extra juices (save juices for dressing). Squeeze segments lightly for extra juice.
  • Combine toasted walnuts, spinach, feta cheese, and grapefruit and orange slices in a large mixing bowl.
  • Pour grapefruit and orange juices into a measuring cup and add enough cranberry juice to reach 1/3 cup. Whisk in olive oil, turbinado sugar, 1 teaspoon reserved orange zest, parsley, and kosher salt until dressing is thickened. Drizzle over salad. Garnish with any remaining orange zest.

LAYERED PEAR, FETA, CRANBERRY, SALAD WITH A BALSAMIC DRESSING



Layered Pear, Feta, Cranberry, Salad With a Balsamic Dressing image

This is just a PRETTY salad. I like to serve this in a glass bowl so you can see the layers. Now obviously you can just toss it all together, but for a dinner party or pot luck dinner, this is just really nice. Simple ingredients and it goes together in just minutes. Now I use my basic vinaigrette which you will have a little left over, or if you want just use a good store bought dressing. My secret for this salad is to add a little honey to the dressing that goes really well with the pears and the cranberries. You could always add a little honey to a store bought dressing to achieve the same taste.

CRANBERRY-PECAN SALAD WITH FETA CHEESE



Cranberry-Pecan Salad with Feta Cheese image

I LOVE this salad, and it's so easy to put together! I like that I can make this salad during the summer months, with the variety of fresh lettuce and spinach from our garden. I have also used the store bought (bagged) iceberg and romaine lettuce, which also has shredded carrots and red cabbage in it. While the feta cheese is...

Categories     Other Salads

Number Of Ingredients 16

2-3 cups leafy salad greens (*see note)
2-3 Tbsp. crumbled feta cheese
2-3 Tbsp. dried cranberries
2-3 Tbsp. chopped pecans
A few slices red onion, optional
A few slices radishes, optional
Dressing: raspberry vinaigrette (l used aldi's tuscan garden raspberry vinaigrette)
*Note: leafy greens used to make this salad - red & green romaine, red & green lettuce, iceberg, or spinach
ANOTHER SALAD VARIATION: BLUEBERRY-MANDARIN SALAD
to make this salad, add the following ingredients along with the leafy greens and raspberry vinaigrette dressing...
A few fresh blueberries
A few canned mandarin oranges (drained well)
2-3 Tbsp. crumbled feta cheese
2-3 Tbsp. dried cranberries
2-3 Tbsp. chopped pecans
Omit: the radishes and red onion, when making the blueberry-mandarin salad.

Steps:

  • 1. To make the original Cranberry Pecan Salad with Feta Cheese, place leafy salad greens in a bowl.
  • 2. Top with the cheese, cranberries, and pecans.
  • 3. Add the slices of red onion and radishes, if using.
  • 4. Pour in the desired amount of vinaigrette dressing, and enjoy your salad. (I would go easy on the dressing, and just add a little bit at a time.)
  • 5. 7/8/2014 - I did want to mention... The raspberry vinaigrette dressing I used to make this salad, I purchased from from Aldi's. Not only was it reasonably priced ($1.29 for a 16-oz. bottle), but it's also very good! I think Aldi's only carries this dressing during the summer months, so if you can get your hands on this dressing, I suggest stocking up on it. I love this bottled dressing!
