Grapefruit And Orange Salad Recipes

ORANGE AND GRAPEFRUIT SALAD WITH CORIANDER AND BLACK OLIVES

Steps:

• Peel and segment the citrus. Using a paring knife, slice a thin slice off the top and the bottom of the fruit, so that it has a stable base. Then, start to slice off the peel in strips, moving your knife from top to bottom, following the natural curve of the fruit. Repeat, moving around the perimeter of the fruit, until there's no more peel and the flesh is visable.
• To remove the segments, hold the fruit in the palm of your hand and then slice between the membranes toward the center of the fruit to release a pretty little segment of citrus. Repeat for each fruit.
• Arrange the orange and grapefruit segments in a shallow dish. Sprinkle the olives over the fruit. Drizzle the oil over the citrus segments and sprinkle with the coriander, salt and pepper. Serve.

GRAPEFRUIT AND ORANGE SALAD

Steps:

• Peel grapefruit and 1 orange, removing all the bitter white pith.
• Working over a bowl to catch the juices, cut between membranes of grapefruit and orange to release whole segments. Divide grapefruit and orange segments between two tall glasses or small bowls.
• Squeeze juice from the second orange and measure approximately 1/4 cup juice.
• Rinse rosemary, shake dry, pluck needles and chop finely.
• In a small pot, mix together rosemary, orange juice and maple syrup and simmer over low heat for about 1 minute. Allow to cool.
• Combine cream cheese and yogurt in a bowl. Stir in cooled rosemary mixture, pour over citrus segments and serve.

AVOCADO AND GRAPEFRUIT SALAD

Steps:

• Place the mustard, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Slowly whisk in the olive oil until the vinaigrette is emulsified.
• Before serving, cut the avocados in 1/2, remove the seeds, and carefully peel off the skin. Cut each half into 4 thick slices. Toss the avocado slices in the vinaigrette to prevent them from turning brown. Use a large, sharp knife to slice the peel off the grapefruits (be sure to remove all the white pith), then cut between the membranes to release the grapefruit segments.
• Arrange the avocado slices around the edge of a large platter. Arrange the grapefruit segments in the center. Spoon the vinaigrette on top, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and serve.

BLOOD ORANGE AND GRAPEFRUIT SALAD WITH CINNAMON

Steps:

• Keep the peel on the fruits to start, which makes slicing them into thin pieces much easier. With a sharp knife, slice the grapefruits and the oranges into thin rounds. Remove the peel from the perimeter of all the rounds. You may do so by using your finger, or make a small slit into the peel and continue to tear the peel off-you'll want to be delicate with this entire process so as not to damage the round shape.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, salt, sage, and pepper to taste.
• Arrange the fruit rounds on a large platter or plate, alternating the colors. Drizzle with the vinaigrette and dust with the cinnamon just before serving. Serve immediately or store in an airtight glass container in the refrigerator for 1 day.
