A perfect salad for any picnic. I serve this salad alongside anything grilled. For a thicker dressing, use less juice. You can use oranges or lemons as well.

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h20m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 limes
1/4 cup fresh parsley leaves
1/4 cup fresh chives
3 tablespoons honey
1/8 cup rice wine vinegar
1 tablespoon chopped fresh ginger
1/2 cup grapeseed or canola oil
2 ounces bottled water
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
6 cups loosely packed red or green leaf lettuce, washed and dried
2 large tomatoes cut in wedges
2 cucumbers, peeped and cut into 1/4-inch thick slices
2 grapefruit, peeled and pith removed, cut into segments

Steps:

  • Microwave limes for about 30 seconds to release essential oils, and set aside to cool.
  • Turn on the blender and through the feed-tube, add the parsley, chives, honey, rice wine vinegar, and fresh ginger, and blend together until a smooth paste has formed. At this point the limes should be cool enough to squeeze. With the power on, add the lime juice through the blender feed-tube, and then very slowly add the oil and water until the mixture thickens and can coat the back of a spoon. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper. Set aside in refrigerator until needed. (When chilled, the dressing should resemble something like mayonnaise.)
  • In a large bowl, toss lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, and grapefruit with enough dressing to coat.

Tips:

  • Choose the freshest citrus fruits and apples: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the flavor of your salad. Look for citrus fruits that are heavy for their size and have smooth, unblemished skin. Apples should be firm and crisp, with no bruises or blemishes.
  • Use a variety of citrus fruits: Don't be afraid to mix and match different types of citrus fruits, such as oranges, grapefruits, lemons, and limes. This will give your salad a complex and flavorful taste.
  • Slice the citrus fruits and apples thinly: This will help them absorb the dressing more easily and make them easier to eat.
  • Make the dressing ahead of time: The dressing for this salad can be made up to 2 days in advance. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
  • Serve the salad immediately: This salad is best served fresh. The citrus fruits and apples will start to lose their flavor and texture if they sit for too long.

Conclusion:

This citrus apple tossed salad is a refreshing and flavorful side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its bright citrus flavor and crunchy apples, this salad is sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
