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. Start to slice off peel in strips. Arrange the orange and grapefruit segments in a shallow dish. Sprinkle olives over fruit. Drizzle oil over segments and sprinkle with coriander, s&p.
Tips:
- Select the freshest citrus fruits: Look for oranges and grapefruits that are heavy for their size, with smooth, brightly colored skin. Avoid any fruits that have bruises or soft spots.
- Use a sharp knife to segment the citrus fruits: This will help to prevent the segments from tearing and will make the salad look more attractive.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of citrus fruits: In addition to oranges and grapefruits, you can also use lemons, limes, and tangerines in this salad.
- Add some fresh herbs for extra flavor: Coriander is a great choice, but you can also use mint, basil, or thyme.
- Use good quality olive oil: The olive oil will help to enhance the flavors of the citrus fruits and herbs.
- Don't overdress the salad: A little bit of olive oil and vinegar will go a long way.
- Serve the salad immediately: This salad is best enjoyed fresh, so don't make it ahead of time.
