SWEET DRESSING FOR FRUIT SALADS



Sweet Dressing for Fruit Salads image

I use this goat cheese dressing to add flavor to under-ripe fruit, as a way to make a fruit salad 'classier', or even as a spread on toast in the morning. This recipe is particularly nice with solid fruits like honeydew, cantaloupe, musk melon, guava, or papaya because they occasionally can be less sweet or juicy than would be desirable. For aesthetic purposes, shake the cinnamon over the top of the dressing just before serving.

1 (10 ounce) package goat cheese

SOUTHERN BROCCOLI SALAD



Southern Broccoli Salad image

A classic sweet and savory Southern broccoli salad combines raw (or barely cooked) broccoli with sweet dried fruit (typically raisins or cranberries), crunchy sunflower seeds and savory Cheddar in a creamy, tangy mayonnaise dressing. Briefly blanching the broccoli in boiling water ensures bright green veggies with a crisp-tender texture. The salad gets better with time, so make it a few hours ahead and refrigerate it. (Reserve the crispy bacon and sprinkle it on top right before serving.) And, if your tastes skew sweet, further increase the sugar by another tablespoon.

Time 15m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

Kosher salt (such as Diamond Crystal) and pepper
8 ounces bacon (any type)
10 cups (1 1/2 pounds) 1- to 1½-inch broccoli florets
1 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 cup coarsely grated Cheddar
1/2 cup golden raisins
1/2 cup roasted, salted sunflower seeds

Steps:

  • Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil.
  • Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium. Add bacon and cook, turning occasionally, until golden and crispy, 7 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain; discard bacon fat or reserve for another use. Chop the bacon into bite-size pieces.
  • Meanwhile, add broccoli to boiling water and cook until bright green, 1 minute. Rinse under cold water until cool (or transfer to an ice bath). Drain broccoli well and pat dry.
  • In a large bowl, combine mayonnaise, onion, vinegar and sugar and mix well. Add the broccoli, cheese, raisins and sunflower seeds. Season with salt and pepper, and toss until well combined. (If time allows, refrigerate for 30 minutes to 3 hours to allow flavors to meld, stirring occasionally.)
  • Transfer broccoli salad to a serving bowl or platter. Top with bacon. Salad can be served immediately, or refrigerated and served chilled.

MANGO & GREEN BEAN SALAD WITH HONEY & PASSION FRUIT DRESSING



Mango & green bean salad with honey & passion fruit dressing image

Enjoy this vibrant, summery salad. A sweet honey, warming chilli and tangy passion fruit dressing marries well with fragrant mangoes and crisp green beans

Provided by Roopa Gulati

Categories     Side dish

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 10

200g fine green beans, trimmed
3 passion fruits
1-2 tbsp honey
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
10g ginger, peeled and finely grated
½ -1 red chilli deseeded and finely chopped, depending on how much heat you prefer
squeeze of lime juice, to taste
1kg mangoes
1 tbsp chopped coriander
1 tbsp mint leaves

Steps:

  • Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil over a high heat and cook the green beans for 2 mins until just tender. Drain and rinse under cold running water to halt the cooking process and retain the vibrant colour. Pat dry with kitchen paper and set aside.
  • Halve the passion fruits, scoop the pulp into a small pan and bring to a simmer over a low heat. Cook for 5 mins until the pulp has thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon. Remove from the heat and press the pulp through a sieve into a small bowl, discarding the seeds.
  • Whisk 1 tbsp honey into the passion fruit purée, followed by the oil, ginger, chilli and lime juice. Season and taste - you might need to add a little more honey or lime juice. Aim for a balance of sweet, tart and acidic.
  • Slice down through the mangoes along both sides of the stone so you end up with two 'cheeks'. Using a tablespoon, scoop the flesh from the skin and cut into 3cm chunks. Scrape and roughly chop any fleshy bits from the stones.
  • Transfer the mango flesh to a shallow serving dish, drizzle with 3 tbsp of the dressing, then gently spoon over the green beans. Stir the coriander into the remaining dressing and pour it over the beans, then scatter with mint and serve.
