Cuban Style Orange Citrus Avocado Toast Salad Recipes

ORANGE AND AVOCADO SALAD WITH SWEET CHILI VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, combine the orange juice, vinegar and honey; season with salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook until thickened, syrupy and reduced by about two-thirds, 8 to 10 minutes. Add the chili powder and refrigerate until cooled completely, about 1 hour.
• Arrange the orange and avocado on a round platter, shingling the pieces in a circular formation. Season with salt and pepper. Drizzle the orange vinaigrette over the salad and finish with the extra-virgin olive oil.

AVOCADO-CITRUS SALAD WITH SWISS CHARD

Steps:

• Using a sharp knife, remove all of the peel and pith from the citrus fruit. To section each fruit, cut between the membrane and flesh of each fruit and remove the flesh. You should have 2 cups fruit. After sectioning, squeeze the leftover membranes over a bowl to reserve the juice.
• Combine 3 tablespoon of reserved fruit juice, olive oil, vinegar, honey, mustard, salt, and pepper in a screw top jar. Close and shake vigorously to combine.
• Arrange mixed greens, Swiss chard, orange, grapefruit, and clementine sections, red onion, avocado, and cashews on a large serving platter. Drizzle with dressing.

CITRUS AND AVOCADO SALAD WITH ORANGE WATER

Steps:

• Using a paring knife, remove peel and white pith from citrus, being careful not to remove too much of the flesh. Slice citrus into 1/2"-thick rounds, then cut into 1 1/2" pieces (it looks cool and is less fussy if pieces aren't too exact in shape and size). Transfer to a medium bowl and add kumquats, if using, lemon juice, orange-flower water, and salt. Toss and let sit 5 minutes so citrus can release some of their juices.
• Transfer citrus, leaving juice behind, to a large plate. Tuck avocado in between and around citrus.
• Spoon citrus juice over salad, scatter pistachios and tarragon over, and drizzle with oil.

ORANGE-AVOCADO TOSSED SALAD

Steps:

• In a large salad bowl, combine the first five ingredients. In a jar with a tight-fitting lid, combine the oil, vinegar, garlic, sugar, curry powder and soy sauce; shake well. Drizzle over salad; toss to coat. Garnish with avocado.

ROASTED CARROT & AVOCADO SALAD WITH CITRUS DRESSING

Steps:

• Don't peel the carrots.
• First, make the herb and spice paste for the carrots.
• In a mortar, combine the cumin seeds, chilli, salt and pepper and smash up with a pestle. Add the garlic and thyme leaves and pound until you have a paste-like consistency. Now add just enough extra virgin olive oil to cover the paste, together with 2 tablespoons of red wine vinegar. Mix together.
• Preheat oven to 180C (350F).
• Cook carrots in boiling, salted water for about 10 minutes or until almost cooked - run a sharp knife into one and it should push through without too much resistance.
• Drain carrots, pat dry with kitchen paper, and put into a roasting tin.
• Pour the spice paste mixture over the carrots and rub in well with your hands.
• Place the roasting tin in the oven and bake carrots for 30 minutes, then add the orange and lemon halves to the tin.
• Bake for another 15-30 minutes until carrots are well roasted and the skins are golden brown.
• (Jamie puts the fruit and the carrots in together, and roasts the lot for 30 minutes. I found this wasn't long enough to get the carrots well roasted and when I left them in longer, the orange and lemon dried out a bit - so the above method is my compromise.).
• While the carrots are roasting, halve the avocados, remove the seeds, scoop out the flesh and cut into wedges.
• Place avocado wedges into a large mixing bowl or salad bowl.
• Heat a medium sized frying pan over a medium heat on the stove and add the seeds. Toast seeds in the frying pan, tossing frequently, until lightly browned. Remove to a small bowl until needed.
• In the same pan, add a good couple of swigs of olive oil and toast your bread slices on both sides. Remove to a plate until needed.
• Now, remove the roasting tin from the oven.
• Using a pair of tongs, squeeze the roasted orange and lemon halves into a bowl (don't worry if some pulp falls out too).
• Add an equal amount of extra virgin olive oil to the bowl along with a tablespoon of red wine vinegar, and season with some crushed sea salt and freshly ground black pepper and mix well.
• Add the roasted carrots to the avocados in the bowl and pour over the dressing.
• Now roughly tear up the toasted bread slices and add to the salad.
• Add the mixed greens and toss the lot together.
• Divide salad between four plates or bowls, spoon a dollop of sour cream on the top of each, sprinkle with the toasted seeds and finish with a little drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.

AVOCADO CITRUS SALAD RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Wash the citrus well, then pat dry with paper towels. Use a microplane to finely grate the zest of 1 orange into a medium bowl, avoiding the bitter white pith.
• Set the orange on a cutting board and use a sharp paring knife to cut off the top and bottom so the flesh is exposed and the fruit can sit upright. Use the knife to remove the rind from around the fruit, following the contours of the fruit and cutting carefully to remove all of the pith, but leaving as much flesh intact as possible. Holding the fruit in your non-dominant hand over a liquid measuring cup, use the knife to cut between the membranes to release the segments and transfer to a separate medium bowl. Let the juice drip into the measuring cup below as you cut. Once all of the segments have been released, squeeze the remaining juice from the membranes into the bowl. Repeat with the remaining citrus. Pour ¼ cup of the citrus juice into the bowl with the zest. Reserve the rest of the juice for another use.
• Very thinly slice the shallot crosswise using a mandoline or very sharp knife. Add the shallot to the bowl with the zest and juice and let sit for 10 minutes to mellow the sharp flavor of the shallot.
• Add the olive oil to the bowl with the citrus juice and shallot and whisk to emulsify. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Halve the avocado lengthwise. Remove the pit. Thinly slice the flesh inside the peel lengthwise, then in half crosswise.
• Spread the arugula on a serving platter and season with salt and pepper. Use a spoon to release the avocado slices into the bowl with the arugula, then add the citrus segments. Spoon the dressing over the salad and finish with a sprinkle of flaky salt. Serve immediately.
• Enjoy!

ROASTED CITRUS AND AVOCADO SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°. Toss orange and lemon slices with 1 tablespoon oil on a rimmed baking sheet; season with salt and pepper. Roast citrus, tossing occasionally, until lightly charred in spots and starting to caramelize, 10-15 minutes. This makes the citrus flavor more complex. Let cool.
• Meanwhile, combine onion and lemon juice in a large bowl; season with salt and pepper and let sit 5 minutes (onion will soften a bit and get slightly sweeter and less harsh).
• Add roasted citrus to bowl with onion along with arugula and mint. Drizzle remaining 3 tablespoons oil over; season with salt and pepper and toss everything to combine and coat.
• Add avocado and very gently toss until lightly dressed (you don't want to crush the avocado).
