WINTER CITRUS SALAD WITH HONEY DRESSING



Winter Citrus Salad with Honey Dressing image

This citrus salad requires only that you overcome the notion that salads must be green; it's a novel and wonderful antidote to sorry-looking lettuce. If you're lucky and can find blood oranges, use them; same with the odd, supremely delicious and usually quite pricey pomelos.

WINTER CITRUS SALAD WITH BELGIAN ENDIVE



Winter Citrus Salad With Belgian Endive image

Late winter really is the time for the best citrus. Produce markets have piles of blood oranges, as well as navel and cara cara oranges and grapefruit, the flesh of each in different vivid brilliant colors. For this salad, use as many kinds of citrus as possible. If you can find pomelos, they add their own kind of sweet tanginess. The combined flavor of sweet and sour citrus, fruity olive oil and coarse salt is seductive.

Time 15m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 blood orange
1 cara cara or navel orange
1 grapefruit
1 small shallot, finely diced
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Salt and pepper
2 Belgian endives, trimmed
Coarse sea salt for garnishing, such as fleur de sel

Steps:

  • Peel the citrus: With a serrated knife, cut off top and bottom of the fruit, so it sits solidly on the cutting board. Cut top to bottom following fruit's curve to remove peel and white pith. Slice the oranges and grapefruit horizontally into 1/8-inch rounds and place them in a bowl. Save the accumulated juice in the bowl for the vinaigrette.
  • Make the vinaigrette: Combine the shallots with red wine vinegar in a small bowl. Let stand for 10 minutes, then whisk in the olive oil and 2 tablespoons of the reserved citrus juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Slice the endives crosswise into 1-inch thick ribbons (but slice the dense core thinner) and place in the center of a salad plate.
  • Surround the endive with citrus slices. Drizzle the vinaigrette over the salad and sprinkle lightly with coarse sea salt.

WINTER CITRUS SALAD RECIPE BY TASTY



Winter Citrus Salad Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: small fennel bulb, blood oranges, cara cara oranges, grapefruit, fresh mint, kosher salt, olive oil, uncooked farro, water, pistachio, lemon juice, honey, kosher salt, fresh tarragon, olive oil

Provided by Isabel Castillo

Categories     Lunch

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 small fennel bulb
3 blood oranges
3 cara cara oranges
1 grapefruit
1 tablespoon fresh mint, torn
kosher salt, to taste
olive oil, to taste
½ cup uncooked farro, rinsed
1 ½ cups water
¼ cup pistachio
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon honey
½ teaspoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon fresh tarragon, finely chopped
¼ cup olive oil

Steps:

  • Trim the fronds and stalks off of the fennel bulb. Cut the bulb in half crosswise, remove the core, then thinly slice. Add the sliced fennel to a medium bowl and set aside.
  • Slice off the top and bottom of a blood orange so it sits flat on your cutting board. Carefully cut off the peel and pith in downward strips around the orange, removing as little fruit as possible. Carefully cut between the membranes to remove the segments. Repeat with the rest of the blood oranges, the Cara Cara oranges, and the grapefruit.
  • Add the citrus segments to the bowl with the fennel, along with the mint. Season with salt and toss to combine. Set aside while you make the dressing and farro.
  • Make the dressing: In a medium bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, honey, salt, and tarragon. Add the olive oil, a bit at a time, and whisk until fully incorporated. Set aside.
  • Heat a bit of olive oil in a small pot over medium heat. Add the farro and toast until just slightly golden brown. Pour in the water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes, until the farro is tender and has absorbed the water.
  • Add 2 tablespoons of the honey tarragon dressing to the warm farro and toss well.
  • In a small pan over medium heat, toast the pistachios until slightly brown and aromatic.
  • Divide the citrus fennel mixture between serving bowls and top with the farro and pistachios. Add more dressing to taste, if desired.
  • Enjoy!

WINTER CITRUS AND RED CHICORIES SALAD



Winter Citrus and Red Chicories Salad image

A crisp colorful salad in the dead of winter can make a meal feel luxurious. Radicchio and its crimson cousins in the chicory family, Chioggia, Treviso and Tardivo, make an eye-popping display with red citrus like blood orange and ruby grapefruit. The combination of slightly bitter leaves and sweet juices is utterly refreshing. Here's our video showing how to peel the citrus.

Provided by David Tanis

Categories     salads and dressings, appetizer

Time 20m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 blood oranges or Cara Cara oranges (red-fleshed navel oranges)
1 navel orange
1 ruby grapefruit
2 small heads radicchio, about 3/4 pound, or a mixture of red-leaved chicories such as Treviso and Tardivo
2 Belgian endives
2 tablespoons finely chopped shallot
Salt and pepper
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
6 kumquats, thinly sliced (optional)
1/4 cup toasted walnut halves

Steps:

  • Using a serrated knife and following the curves of the fruit, carefully peel the blood oranges, navel orange and grapefruit. Remove all the peels and the white pith, but keep the fruits as smooth and round as possible.
  • Cut the blood oranges and navel orange crosswise into 1/4-inch slices and place in a low bowl. Use knife to cut between the grapefruit membranes to form segments; add to bowl. Squeeze the grapefruit "carcass" over a strainer into the bowl with the citrus.
  • Separate radicchio into leaves and tear into large pieces.
  • Remove and discard a layer of exterior leaves from each endive so that only smooth and unblemished leaves are showing. Trim 1 inch from the bottoms and discard. Separate the leaves.
  • Place radicchio and endive leaves in a large platter or in a low-sided salad bowl. Arrange citrus slices and segments artfully over leaves, reserving the citrus juices.
  • In a small bowl, combine shallots and 3 tablespoons reserved citrus juices. Add a good pinch of salt and pepper. Whisk in olive oil and taste. Adjust the seasonings, whisk again, and pour dressing evenly over salad.
  • Garnish with kumquat slices, if using, and toasted walnuts.
