MEYER LEMON VINAIGRETTE



Meyer Lemon Vinaigrette image

When Meyer lemons are in season, typically between November and March, be sure to snag some up to make this lemon-Parmesan dressing. Meyer lemons are much less tart and acidic than traditional lemons, like a cross between a lemon and a mandarin. They're also sweeter, so no additional sugar is needed. I love this on kale salad, but also drizzled over roasted veggies or grilled salmon or trout.

Escarole Salad with Roasted Meyer Lemon Vinaigrette image

Provided by Valerie Bertinelli

Categories     side-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 teaspoons plus 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon honey
2 Meyer lemons, halved crosswise
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
8 ounces cherry tomatoes
1 head escarole, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 head Treviso radicchio, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced
1/2 cup roughly chopped Marcona almonds
1/4 cup torn fresh basil leaves
1/4 cup torn fresh mint leaves
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Parmesan, for garnish

Steps:

  • For the vinaigrette: Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 teaspoons of the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of the honey. When the honey has melted, stir it together with the oil. Place the lemons, cut-side down, into the honey mixture; cook until the lemons look charred and the honey has caramelized, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the lemons to a baking sheet and let cool. Set the skillet aside.
  • Juice the roasted lemons and add 1/4 cup of the juice to a bowl; whisk in the remaining 1 teaspoon honey and the mustard. Once combined, whisk in the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil until the dressing becomes emulsified. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • For the salad: Return the skillet to high heat. When hot, add the cherry tomatoes and season with salt. Cook until the caramelized honey coats the tomatoes and the tomatoes just begin to char, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat.
  • Combine the escarole, Treviso, almonds, basil and mint in a large bowl; season with salt and pepper. Toss the salad with the dressing, and then gently fold in the charred tomatoes. Transfer the salad to the serving platter and, using a peeler, shave Parmesan over the top.

CEDAR SMOKED SALMON CAESAR WITH MEYER LEMON TRUFFLE ANCHOVY VINAIGRETTE



Cedar Smoked Salmon Caesar with Meyer Lemon Truffle Anchovy Vinaigrette image

Provided by Food Network

Time 55m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 22

1 baguette or small loaf bread
2 ounces melted butter
1 ounce virgin olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 cloves garlic
2 ounces Meyer lemon juice, regular lemon juice can be substituted
2 ounces red wine vinegar
1 anchovy fillet
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon Worcestershire
3 dashes hot sauce
Salt and pepper
1 egg yolk
1 ounce truffle olive oil
2 ounces fruity virgin olive oil
Grated Parmesan
4 (2 1/2-ounce) chunks salmon fillets
1 ounce light olive oil
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
8 romaine hearts or 4 heads regular romaine, small as possible, trimmed
1 to 2 ounces grated Parmesan

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • To make the croutons: Cut the bread into squares. Combine melted butter and olive oil. Toss bread squares in the oil and melted butter combination and season with salt and pepper. Place on a baking sheet in 1 layer. Bake, tossing several times in the cooking process, until they are golden brown, crispy on the outside and a little soft inside, 10 to 15 minutes. Cool at room temperature and reserve. Do not refrigerate.
  • To make the vinaigrette: In a food processor, add garlic, lemon juice, vinegar, anchovy fillet, Dijon, Worcestershire, hot sauce, salt, pepper, and egg yolk and process for 15 seconds. With the processor running, slowly drizzle in the truffle oil and the olive oil. This recipe will make twice the amount that you need for a salad for 6 people.
  • It is difficult to make a smaller quantity in a food processor. The vinaigrette will keep up to 1 week, well covered, in the refrigerator. The salad is good enough to serve twice in 1 week.
  • Preheat a grill to high.
  • To make the Salad: In a mixing bowl, drizzle the chunks of salmon with enough oil just to coat. Season with salt and pepper. Remove the plank from the water and brush with some oil. Place the plank either on the grill or next to an open fire in a wood oven. Allow it to just catch fire. Put it out, and do the same to the other side of the plank. Place the fish pieces directly onto the plank, about 1-inch apart. Return it to the grill. The plank should be arranged near the fire so that it smolders on the edges, creating smoke that surrounds the fish. Allow this to continue, placing it near the fire in such a way that it smolders but does not catch fire.
  • Cook the fish to medium rare, about 6 minutes.
  • While the salmon is cooking, place the whole, but separated romaine leaves in a large mixing bowl with the croutons. Ladle about 1/2 of the vinaigrette over the whole leaves, season with salt and pepper and toss just to coat the leaves. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan over the salad and give the salad a final gentle toss. Arrange the leaves and the croutons on 6 chilled plates. Flake the salmon on its natural separations and divide evenly over the salads.

Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 22

For vinaigrette
1 lemon
1 stalk fresh lemongrass, 1 or 2 tough outer leaves discarded and root end trimmed
3/4 cup chicken stock or broth
1 small (1 1/2- to 2-inch) dried chile (preferably Thai)
6 (2- by 1 1/4-inch) fresh or frozen makrut lime leaves
1/4 cup olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch dissolved in 1 teaspoon water
1 teaspoon minced fresh oregano

6 firm-ripe small Seckel pears (3/4 pound total)
6 radishes, trimmed
3/4 pound purslane, coarse stems discarded
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Fleur de sel to taste
Accompaniment: jasmine rice crackers
Special Equipment
a Japanese Benriner or other adjustable-blade slicer

Steps:

  • Make vinaigrette:
  • Cut peel, including white pith, from lemon with a small sharp knife. Working over a bowl to catch juices, cut lemon segments free from membranes, letting segments drop into bowl.
  • Crush lemongrass stalk with side of a heavy knife (to release oils), then thinly slice. Bring stock, lemongrass, and chile to a boil in a 1- to 1 1/2-quart heavy saucepan. Cover pan and remove from heat, then let stand 20 minutes.
  • Return to a boil and add lemon segments with juice and lime leaves. Cover pan and remove from heat, then let stand 20 minutes more.
  • Pour mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a small bowl, discarding solids, then return to saucepan and whisk in oil. Bring vinaigrette to a boil and whisk in cornstarch mixture, then simmer, whisking occasionally, 2 minutes. Cool completely. Whisk in herbs and salt and pepper to taste.
  • Make salad:
  • Using slicer, cut Meyer lemon (with skin) crosswise, pears lengthwise (discarding cores), and radishes lengthwise into very thin slices (about 1/16 inch thick) and transfer to a large bowl. Add purslane, oil, lemon juice, and fleur de sel and pepper to taste and toss gently.
  • Divide salad among 6 plates and spoon vinaigrette over and around each. Serve salads with jasmine crackers on the side.

EASY MEYER LEMON VINAIGRETTE (VEGAN FRIENDLY)



Easy Meyer Lemon Vinaigrette (Vegan Friendly) image

When we spotted this recipe in the February 2011 issue of Sunset we knew it had to be good. I prepared two versions: one with dark aged balsamic and the second with white balsamic. For a vegan version, skip the mayonnaise or use an egg-free mayonnaise. It was suggested to try the dressing on greens such as oak leaf, mizuna and/or arugula. My husband and I enjoyed it on all three and it was especially tasty on zippy arugula! I would skip the garlic depending on your main dish and/or other items on the menu.

2 8-ounce boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 2½- to 3-pound spaghetti squash, halved lengthwise and seeded1¼ cups red enchilada sauce, divided
1 medium zucchini, diced1 cup shredded pepper Jack cheese

Transfer the chicken to a clean cutting board and shred with 2 forks. Transfer to a large bowl. Meanwhile, place squash cut-side down in a microwave-safe dish and add 2 tablespoons water. Microwave, uncovered, on High until the flesh is tender, about 10 minutes. (Alternatively, place squash halves cut-side down on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake in a 400°F oven until the squash is tender, 40 to 50 minutes.) Use a fork to scrape the squash from the shells into the large bowl. Place the shells on a broiler-safe pan. Stir 1 cup enchilada sauce, zucchini, ½ teaspoon pepper and ¼ teaspoon salt into the squash and chicken. Divide the mixture between the shells; top with the remaining ¼ cup enchilada sauce and cheese. Bake on the lower rack for 10 minutes. Move to the upper rack, turn the broiler to high and broil, watching carefully, until the cheese starts to brown, about 2 minutes. To serve, cut each shell in half.
