Apple Citrus Salad Recipes

CITRUS SALAD

Steps:

• Place lime slices, tangerine sections, navel orange, and grapefruit in a bowl. In a separate bowl, mix the lime zest, mandarin orange zest, shallots, lemon juice, olive oil, and salt. Pour over the fruit. Arrange dressed fruit atop romaine lettuce to serve.

CRISP APPLES WITH CITRUS DRESSING

Steps:

• Toss apple chunks in a bowl with 2 teaspoons tangerine juice. Whisk remaining tangerine juice, sour cream, mayonnaise, sugar, and salt in a bowl until sugar and salt have dissolved. Pour dressing over apple and toss.

APPLE AND PEAR FRUIT SALAD WITH HONEY-LIME VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Add the apples, pears and pieces to a large bowl. Squeeze the juice from the limes over fruit. Add the honey and mint leaves, and toss it all together to coat. Serve immediately or chill until ready.

APPLE-ORANGE SALAD

Steps:

• Cut the ends off the navel and blood oranges, then cut away the peel and white pith. Working over a bowl, cut along both sides of each membrane with a paring knife to remove the segments, allowing them to drop into the bowl. Discard any seeds. Squeeze the juice from the membranes into a small bowl (you should have about 1 cup of juice).
• Bring the reserved orange juice, honey and ginger to a simmer in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook until syrupy, 8 to 10 minutes. Let cool completely; discard the ginger. Toss the syrup with the oranges and apples.

CITRUS CABBAGE SALAD

Steps:

• Cut the cabbage in half and cut out the core. Cut the halves in half and then slice them thinly like you would for coleslaw. Place the cabbage in a large serving bowl.
• Thinly slice the onion into half moons and add it in with the cabbage. Segment the orange and grapefruit, but don't discard the membranes. Add the citrus segments to the cabbage.
• Add the pomegranate seeds, cilantro, and toasted pepitas to the salad and then make the vinaigrette.
• Pour half the vinaigrette over the salad and toss everything together. Taste for seasoning and add additional vinaigrette as needed. Cover the salad and refrigerate for 15-30 minutes before serving so that the flavors can marry.
• In a small bowl or jar with a lid squeeze all of the juices from the remaining grapefruit and orange membranes. Add the remaining vinaigrette ingredients to the juice. Whisk or shake until thoroughly combined.
