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.

Provided by Michael Chiarello : Food Network

Categories     appetizer

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 lemons
1/2 navel orange or 1 small orange
1 shallot
1 1/2 cups pure olive oil
1 teaspoon gray salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
8 cups mixed young green lettuces
Cocoa Nibs (available at specialty and gourmet food stores)

Steps:

  • Juice the lemons, orange, and shallot in a juice extractor. Put the juices in a bowl and whisk in the olive oil in a slow stream to form an emulsion. Season with the salt and pepper. Taste and adjust the seasoning. Whisk again, cover, and refrigerate for up to 3 days. You should have about 2 cups.
  • Just before serving, place the greens in a salad bowl, add about 1/2 cup vinaigrette, and toss well. Add more to taste and adjust the seasoning. Finish the salad with a sprinkling of cocoa nibs to taste.
  • Variation for Blender: Use 3 lemons, 2 small oranges, 1 shallot, 1 teaspoon gray salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and 1 1/2 cups pure olive oil. Cut off and discard the stem ends of 2 lemons and 1 orange. Cut into quarters, cut out the core, and remove seed. Place in a blender. Squeeze the juice from the remaining lemon and orange; add to the blender with the shallot, salt, and pepper. Pulse and then blend the fruit until as smooth as possible. With the machine running, add the olive oil in a thin, steady stream. The vinaigrette will be thick like a mayonnaise. If it is too thick, with the machine still on, thin with a little hot water. Taste for seasoning. Cover and refrigerate for up to 3 days. If the vinaigrette separates, return it to the blender and blend until smooth again. Makes about 3 cups.

Tips and Conclusion:

  • Utilize an Assortment of Greens: Get creative with your salad greens! This recipe recommends arugula, baby kale, spinach, and watercress, but feel free to mix and match your favorites. Incorporate tender lettuces like romaine or butterhead for a textural contrast.
  • Slice Vegetables Thinly: For optimal flavor absorption and a cohesive bite, thinly slice your vegetables. This allows the tangy citrus vinaigrette to penetrate each ingredient evenly.
  • Balance Bitter and Sweet: Radishes add a delightful peppery kick, while sliced oranges provide a burst of sweetness. This balance of flavors creates a captivating contrast that keeps your taste buds engaged.
  • Use Fresh Herbs: Fresh herbs like mint and cilantro elevate the salad with their aromatic freshness. Chop them finely to distribute their flavor throughout the dish.
  • Make the Vinaigrette in Advance: The zesty citrus vinaigrette is the star of this salad. Prepare it ahead of time to allow the flavors to meld and intensify. Store it in a jar or airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
  • Toss Gently: When combining the salad ingredients, handle them with care to prevent bruising. Use a light touch to ensure the greens and vegetables remain crisp and vibrant.
