Time 2h

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 24

3 tablespoons butter
1 cup finely chopped onion
⅓ cup finely chopped celery
¼ cup finely chopped red bell pepper
1 tablespoon dry mustard
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
⅓ cup mayonnaise
½ cup soft bread crumbs
1 tablespoon lemon zest
¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 pound cooked crabmeat
salt and black pepper to taste
1 cup dry bread crumbs
¾ cup vegetable oil
lemon, zested
¼ cup lemon juice
2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger root
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
1 teaspoon white sugar, or to taste
salt to taste
2 cups vegetable oil for frying
8 cups mixed salad greens
2 avocados - peeled, pitted and sliced

Steps:

  • Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the onion, and cook until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the celery and bell pepper; continue cooking until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in the mustard and cayenne pepper; cook 2 minutes. Scrape the mixture into a mixing bowl and refrigerate until cold.
  • Stir the mayonnaise into the chilled vegetable mixture along with the soft bread crumbs, 1 tablespoon lemon zest, parsley, and beaten egg. Stir until combined, then gently fold in the crab meat. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Pour the dry bread crumbs into a shallow bowl. Form the crab mixture into 8 cakes, 1/2 inch thick. Press the crab cakes into the bread crumbs one at a time until coated on all sides. Gently shake off excess crumbs, and place the crab cakes onto a plate. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate 1 hour to overnight.
  • Prepare the vinaigrette by whisking 3/4 cup vegetable oil with the zest of 1 lemon, lemon juice, ginger, jalapeno, sugar, and salt. Store in the refrigerator until ready to use.
  • Heat the frying oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. While the oil is heating, toss the mixed salad greens with the vinaigrette in a mixing bowl, and divide onto 8 serving plates. Arrange the sliced avocado over the salads, and set aside.
  • Once the oil is shimmering with heat, fry the crab cakes until golden brown on each side, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Briefly drain on a paper towel-lined plate to rid the cakes of excess grease. Place a crab cake on top of each salad and serve immediately.

MIXED GREENS SALAD WITH ORANGE VINAIGRETTE



Mixed Greens Salad with Orange Vinaigrette image

This is the kind of salad that doesn't require much work but looks super-pretty on the table. It's great for everything from brunch to an easy dinner party. You start off with a simple base of mixed greens (pick your fave!), then toss in handfuls of fresh blueberries, mandarin segments (or any kind of sweet citrus) and crunchy spiced nuts (again, any kind you like). The dressing is an easy vinaigrette that gets a special touch from orange juice. You'll have extra dressing you can refrigerate for another day.

Categories     side-dish

Time 10m

Yield 2 to 3 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 cup orange juice
2 tablespoons red wine or apple cider vinegar
3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons honey
1 clove garlic, peeled
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
5 ounces mixed prewashed greens
1/2 cup fresh blueberries
1/2 cup peeled citrus segments (mandarins, oranges, grapefruit, etc.)
6 tablespoons spiced or candied nuts, such as almonds or pecans

Steps:

  • Make the dressing by blending the orange juice, vinegar, oil, honey, garlic, salt and pepper in a blender until very smooth. Place the greens, blueberries and citrus segments in a large salad bowl. Add dressing to taste and toss until evenly coated. (You will have extra dressing.) Garnish with the nuts and serve immediately.

GREENS AND HERBS SALAD WITH ORANGE GINGER VINAIGRETTE



Greens and Herbs Salad With Orange Ginger Vinaigrette image

This is a versatile salad, so mix it up (no pun intended) however YOU like it! You can easily add sliced protein (steak or fish, etc.) and some fresh bread to make a meal out of this one. The vinaigrette was born out of a desire to use up some orange marmalade and to dress a lunch salad. (Read: light, fresh, bright) The photo has a jalepeno because I was so close to chopping some up. I think it will be great... next time! NOTE: We like our vinaigrette's more acid than oil, so if you prefer oily you'll need to probably DOUBLE the oil, and if you like sweet, add 1/4-1/2 teaspoon of sugar, too! THE SYSTEM WON'T LET ME ADD THE 1 CUP OF RADDICHIO, but you'll want to add it!

Categories     Salad Dressings

Time 15m

Yield 4-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 22

1 cup red leaf lettuce
1 cup green lettuce
1 cup iceberg lettuce
1 cup frisee
1 cup chard leaves
1 cup arugula
1 orange bell pepper, diced (large)
4 -8 ounces grape tomatoes, halved
1/2 English cucumber, sliced thin
1 red onion, sliced thin (small to medium)
1/4 cup fresh dill, chopped
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
3 -6 ounces feta cheese, crumbled (we use reduced fat)
1/2-1 cup nuts, toasted in a dry, hot pan (walnuts, cashews, etc.)
1 orange, seeded, segmented and chopped (optional)
3 tablespoons orange marmalade (chunkier is better!)
2 tablespoons white vinegar
1/8 teaspoon ground ginger (I eyeball or taste this, so I'm guessing)
1/8 teaspoon pepper, freshly ground, if available
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons canola oil

Steps:

  • Mix greens and herbs together.
  • Add celery, onion, bell pepper, tomatoes and cucumber (and anything else you decided to add!).
  • Prepare vinaigrette by mixing all ingredients except oil. Add oil gradually, whisking continuously until fully emulsified. (Or, if you prefer, add all ingredients to a sealed container and shake thoroughly.).
  • If you like your lettuce "marinated", toss the vinaigrette into the salad and refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • BEFORE SERVING: Add feta, walnuts (and oranges, if you're using them) and protein, if any, just before serving (don't toss).
  • I hope you enjoy the salad as much as we do. It's a fresh alternative to the everyday!

CRUNCHY GREENS WITH CARROT-GINGER DRESSING



Crunchy Greens With Carrot-Ginger Dressing image

This recipe draws inspiration from the sunny-orange flavor of green salads with carrot-ginger dressing at Japanese American restaurants. The pulpy, aromatic dressing may be the star, but a salad is only as good as its lettuce. After washing and thoroughly spin-drying the greens in a salad spinner (alternatively, you can pat them dry in a clean kitchen towel), one way to maximize their crunch before adding the dressing is to refrigerate them, covered, for at least 30 minutes. Little Gem has a sweet, juicy sturdiness, but regular packaged mixed greens, baby spinach and chopped romaine hearts work, too.

Time 10m

Yield 2 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 small carrot, peeled and coarsely chopped
1 (1-inch) piece fresh ginger, peeled and coarsely chopped
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 1/2 teaspoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 teaspoon onion powder
Salt
2 to 4 heads Little Gem lettuce, leaves separated, or 1 romaine heart, chopped
1 cup loosely packed fresh mint leaves

Steps:

  • Make the dressing: In a food processor, purée the carrot, ginger, olive oil, rice vinegar, soy sauce, sugar, onion powder, a pinch of salt and 1 tablespoon cold water until as smooth as possible, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Dress the salad: Place the lettuce leaves in a large serving bowl. Add a couple of tablespoons of the dressing and toss, then add more as needed to evenly coat. The salad should be lightly dressed, not drowned; don't use every drop of dressing if you don't need to. Taste for seasoning, adjusting with more salt as desired. Top the salad with the mint leaves and serve immediately.

ORANGE GINGER BALSAMIC VINAIGRETTE



Orange Ginger Balsamic Vinaigrette image

This is a great dressing for my favorite salad, baby spinach, mandarin oranges, bacon with a few ribbons of fresh basil. The salt can be varied, but a good coarse ground salt such as Hawaiian salt adds so much. It's also a great little marinade for flavorful fish like salmon or even chicken or pork.

Tips:

  • Serve the salad with your favorite toppings: Some popular options include grilled chicken, roasted tofu, or crumbled feta cheese.
