Florida Grapefruit Superfood Salad Recipes

FLORIDA GRAPEFRUIT SUPERFOOD SALAD

Steps:

• Peel and cut the butternut squash into 1 inch pieces. Blanch in boiling water for about 4 minutes or until just tender. Drain, pat dry and set it aside until ready to use.
• In a small pot, bring 2 cups of lightly salted water to boil. Add the quinoa and turn heat down to medium. Cook the quinoa for 20 minutes or until the quinoa triples in size and becomes tender. Drain and set aside to cool.
• Combine all of the dressing ingredients in a blender and puree on the highest speed for several minutes until very smooth. This can be done a day in advance and held in the refrigerator.
• Using a sharp paring knife, cut the ends off of the Florida grapefruit so it sits flat on the cutting board. Carefully run the paring knife under the peel and trim away all of the pith, leaving just the grapefruit flesh. Slice the grapefruit into 8 even segments.
• Cut the Napa cabbage into quarters and remove the core. Cut the cabbage crosswise into thin shavings. Hold this in a large salad bowl suitable for serving.
• Slice the cucumber lengthwise and remove the seeds. Cut the cucumber on an angle into very thin slices and transfer to the salad bowl.
• Combine the squash, Florida grapefruit slices, hemp hearts, goji berries, avocado and quinoa into the salad bowl and toss liberally with dressing.

SUPER SALAD (ADAPTED FROM WHOLE FOODS SUPERFOOD SALAD)

Steps:

• Combine and toss.
• **All the measurements are estimates. I typically eyeball everything based on how much I want to make. I like to chop both the kale and cabbage well because it allows all the ingredients to incorporate better and it is just yummier that way. This salad stores really well in an air tight container in the refrigerator minus the dressing. I like to portion it out into single serving containers for ease as well as when I add the dressing I just replace the lid and shake to distribute the dressing.
