WINTER CITRUS SALAD WITH HONEY DRESSING



Winter Citrus Salad with Honey Dressing image

This citrus salad requires only that you overcome the notion that salads must be green; it's a novel and wonderful antidote to sorry-looking lettuce. If you're lucky and can find blood oranges, use them; same with the odd, supremely delicious and usually quite pricey pomelos.

WINTER CITRUS SALAD RECIPE BY TASTY



Winter Citrus Salad Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: small fennel bulb, blood oranges, cara cara oranges, grapefruit, fresh mint, kosher salt, olive oil, uncooked farro, water, pistachio, lemon juice, honey, kosher salt, fresh tarragon, olive oil

Provided by Isabel Castillo

Categories     Lunch

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 small fennel bulb
3 blood oranges
3 cara cara oranges
1 grapefruit
1 tablespoon fresh mint, torn
kosher salt, to taste
olive oil, to taste
½ cup uncooked farro, rinsed
1 ½ cups water
¼ cup pistachio
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon honey
½ teaspoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon fresh tarragon, finely chopped
¼ cup olive oil

Steps:

  • Trim the fronds and stalks off of the fennel bulb. Cut the bulb in half crosswise, remove the core, then thinly slice. Add the sliced fennel to a medium bowl and set aside.
  • Slice off the top and bottom of a blood orange so it sits flat on your cutting board. Carefully cut off the peel and pith in downward strips around the orange, removing as little fruit as possible. Carefully cut between the membranes to remove the segments. Repeat with the rest of the blood oranges, the Cara Cara oranges, and the grapefruit.
  • Add the citrus segments to the bowl with the fennel, along with the mint. Season with salt and toss to combine. Set aside while you make the dressing and farro.
  • Make the dressing: In a medium bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, honey, salt, and tarragon. Add the olive oil, a bit at a time, and whisk until fully incorporated. Set aside.
  • Heat a bit of olive oil in a small pot over medium heat. Add the farro and toast until just slightly golden brown. Pour in the water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes, until the farro is tender and has absorbed the water.
  • Add 2 tablespoons of the honey tarragon dressing to the warm farro and toss well.
  • In a small pan over medium heat, toast the pistachios until slightly brown and aromatic.
  • Divide the citrus fennel mixture between serving bowls and top with the farro and pistachios. Add more dressing to taste, if desired.
  • Enjoy!

  • Preparing the Citrus: Wash the citrus fruits thoroughly before using. For oranges and grapefruits, peel and segment them, removing any pith. For tangerines and clementines, peel and separate the segments.
  • Slicing the Fennel: Use a sharp knife to thinly slice the fennel bulb. This will help bring out its delicate flavor and texture.
  • Dressing Variations: The honey-lime dressing is a classic combination for citrus salads. However, you can experiment with different flavors by adding herbs, spices, or other citrus juices. For example, try adding a teaspoon of chopped mint or a pinch of cayenne pepper to the dressing.
  • Serving Suggestions: Serve the citrus salad as a refreshing side dish or appetizer. It also makes a great addition to brunch or lunch menus.
