ARUGULA SALAD WITH CITRUS VINAIGRETTE



Arugula Salad with Citrus Vinaigrette image

Arugula is a delicious alternative to lettuce, and the citrus juice dressing is a delicious alternative to heavier store bought dressings. A lovely precursor to most meals, or a great stand-alone in the summer. Garnish with walnuts or sunflower seeds, if you like.

ARUGULA SALAD WITH CITRUS DRESSING



Arugula Salad with Citrus Dressing image

Provided by Delicious Living Contributor

Yield 4 people

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 large handfuls (about 3 ounces) arugula leaves
1 large handful (about 1 ounce) herb salad mix (or to taste)
Baby radishes, mâche, and chive or rocket flowers (to taste)
Snipped fresh chives (for garnish)
2 tablespoons slivered almonds (lightly toasted)
CITRUS-VIN DRESSING (makes 1 cup)
1/4 cup each fresh orange, lemon, and grapefruit juice
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/4 cup champagne vinegar
1 small shallot, (minced, 2-3 teaspoons)
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Combine juices in a nonreactive pan and simmer over medium heat until reduced to about 1/4 cup. Pour into a bowl to cool briefly. Add mustard, vinegar, and shallots. Whisk together and let the shallots and acids get to know each other. After 5 minutes, whisk in olive oil and season with salt and pepper. This can keep for a week or two in your fridge. (I like to make the dressing in a mustard jar that's almost empty. Shake it vigorously to re-emulsify.)
  • Put arugula in a big bowl. Add any tender herbs and lettuces you like. Toss a bit of dressing (about 2 tablespoons) with the greens; go easy, this salad is about the symbiosis between the lettuces and herbs, not the dressing. Season with salt and pepper. Finish salad with chives and lightly toasted slivered almonds.

SEARED SALMON WITH CITRUS AND ARUGULA SALAD



Seared Salmon With Citrus and Arugula Salad image

Bursting with color and bright, bold flavors, this simple recipe makes an elegant main course for a dinner party, or a welcome diversion from your go-to weeknight salmon. The technique of cooking salmon in a cast-iron skillet creates a beautifully golden-brown sear and crispy skin. For best results, make this recipe during the cold weather months, when citrus fruit is at its best.

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for brushing
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed orange juice
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
2 garlic cloves, minced (about 2 teaspoons)
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon black pepper, plus more to taste
1/4 cup thinly sliced shallot (from 1 large shallot)
1 small grapefruit
2 to 3 navel oranges, blood oranges or Cara Cara oranges, or a combination (about 1 1/2 pounds total)
4 (6-ounce) skin-on salmon fillets
2 to 3 ounces baby arugula (about 4 cups)
1/2 medium fennel bulb, trimmed, cored and very thinly sliced crosswise
1 ripe avocado, halved, pitted, peeled and thinly sliced
1/4 cup shelled, roasted salted or unsalted pistachios, chopped

Steps:

  • Make the glaze for the salmon: In a small bowl, whisk 2 tablespoons olive oil with the orange juice, mustard, half the chopped garlic and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Set aside.
  • Make the salad dressing: In another small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons olive oil with the lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Stir in the shallots and the remaining garlic, then set aside.
  • Using a small serrated knife, peel the grapefruit and oranges and trim to remove any remaining pith. Slice all the peeled fruit crosswise into thin circles (no larger than 1/2-inch thick); remove the seeds and set aside.
  • Heat a 12-inch cast-iron or heavy stainless-steel skillet over medium-high until it's extremely hot (a drop of water flicked onto the pan should turn to steam almost immediately), about 3 minutes. Meanwhile, pat the salmon fillets dry using paper towels, brush both sides with olive oil, and season all over with salt and pepper.
  • When the pan is ready, cook the salmon fillets skin-side down over medium-high without moving until the salmon skin releases easily from the pan, 3 to 4 minutes. Using a pair of tongs or a spatula, wiggle the fillets to loosen the skin from the bottom of the pan, then carefully flip. Lower the heat to medium and cook until the salmon is cooked through but still slightly rare in the center, 4 to 5 more minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets.
  • Transfer to a rimmed plate or serving dish, and brush the glaze all over the salmon, making sure to coat the fillets.
  • Combine the arugula and fennel in a large bowl. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss well. Add the avocado, citrus rounds and pistachios, and toss gently. Transfer to a shallow serving bowl or platter and serve alongside the salmon.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
4 boneless center-cut pork loin chops (about 1 pound), trimmed
5 tablespoons light mayonnaise
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon honey mustard
3/4 cup fat-free croutons (any flavor), crushed
3 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
5 large navel oranges
1 5-ounce package baby arugula (about 8 cups)
1 red onion, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Combine 1/4 cup cold water, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a small baking dish. Pierce the pork chops all over with a fork; add to the brine. Let sit, flipping once, 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, whisk the mayonnaise, Worcestershire sauce and honey mustard in a shallow dish. Combine the crushed croutons and parmesan in another shallow dish. Put the flour on a plate.
  • Remove the pork from the brine; pat dry. Dredge in the flour, then the mayonnaise mixture, and then the crouton mixture, pressing to coat. Transfer to a rack set on a baking sheet. Bake until golden and cooked through, about 20 minutes.
  • Slice off the top and bottom of 3 oranges with a paring knife, then cut off the peel and pith. Slice into rounds, discard any seeds and transfer to a large bowl. Squeeze the juice of the remaining 2 oranges into the bowl.
  • Cut the pork chops into 1/2-inch pieces. Add the pork, arugula, onion and olive oil to the bowl; toss. Season with salt and pepper.

1 avocado - peeled, pitted and diced

Tips:

  • Use a variety of citrus fruits. Oranges, lemons, limes, and grapefruit are all great options for a citrus dressing. You can also use a combination of different citrus fruits to create a more complex flavor.
  • Add some sweetness. Honey, maple syrup, or agave nectar can all be used to sweeten a citrus dressing. This will help to balance out the tartness of the citrus fruits.
  • Add some herbs. Fresh herbs, such as basil, cilantro, or mint, can add a lot of flavor to a citrus dressing. Be sure to chop the herbs finely before adding them to the dressing.
  • Use a good quality olive oil. The olive oil is one of the main ingredients in a citrus dressing, so it's important to use a good quality oil. Extra virgin olive oil is the best choice, as it has a fruity, peppery flavor that will complement the citrus fruits.
  • Taste the dressing before serving. Be sure to taste the dressing before you serve it, and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may need to add more citrus juice, sweetness, or herbs to get the perfect flavor.

Conclusion:

Citrus dressings are a great way to add a bright, refreshing flavor to your salads and other dishes. They are also very versatile, and can be made with a variety of different citrus fruits and other ingredients. Experiment with different recipes to find the perfect citrus dressing for your taste.
