CITRUS SALAD WITH MINT SUGAR



Citrus Salad With Mint Sugar image

Found another recipe for the use of all the citrus in our neighborhood. This is so refreshing, it is a perfect brunch salad to go with an egg dish or on it's own. You may want to pith the fruit the night before as it can be a little time consuming, but the fruit keeps well. I used the dried cranberries, because I had them on hand, but the pomegranate seeds are probably more colorful. Medical Alert: Grapefruit can interact negatively with some medications, check with your pharmacist or doctor.

CITRUS SALAD

The most beautiful ruby-red grapefruit is available in December; use it to make this jewel-like salad. In other seasons, the grapefruit will be smaller and you will need more.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Breakfast & Brunch Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 ruby-red or pink grapefruit, peel and pith removed
5 navel or blood oranges, peel and pith removed
3 tablespoons sherry vinegar
1 tablespoon honey
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup canola oil
2 large heads radicchio, leaves separated
2 heads Belgian endive, leaves separated
1/4 small red onion, very thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Working over a bowl to catch the juices, use a paring knife to slice between the sections and membranes of each grapefruit; remove the segments whole. Place each segment in bowl as completed. Repeat process with oranges in same bowl. Transfer to refrigerator. Recipe may be made up to this point 1 hour ahead.
  • Make vinaigrette: In a small bowl, combine vinegar, honey, and salt and pepper to taste. Slowly whisk in olive oil, then canola oil, until mixture is well combined. Set vinaigrette aside.
  • Just before serving, arrange radicchio and endive leaves on a large serving platter. Arrange grapefruit and orange segments in the center of the platter. Scatter red-onion slices over the top. Drizzle the reserved vinaigrette over the salad, and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right citrus fruits: Use a variety of citrus fruits to create a colorful and flavorful salad. Grapefruits, oranges, tangerines, and lemons are all good choices.
  • Segment the citrus fruits properly: To avoid bitterness, use a sharp knife to remove the pith from the citrus fruits before segmenting them.
  • Make the mint sugar ahead of time: Mint sugar can be made up to 24 hours in advance. This will allow the flavors to meld together.
  • Use fresh mint: Fresh mint is essential for this salad. Do not use dried mint, as it will not have the same flavor.
  • Serve the salad chilled: This salad is best served chilled. You can make it ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Citrus salad with mint sugar is a refreshing and flavorful salad that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own preferences.
