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.

Time 1h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 25

½ cup olive oil
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
4 (6 ounce) fillets ahi (yellowfin) tuna steaks, sushi-grade if possible
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons fresh orange juice
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 ½ teaspoons fresh lime juice
1 ½ teaspoons soy sauce
1 shallot, chopped
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
1 ½ teaspoons fresh thyme
1 ½ teaspoons chopped fresh dill
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
½ jalapeno or serrano chili pepper, seeded and chopped
1 ½ teaspoons minced ginger
¾ cup olive oil
Kosher salt and fresh cracked pepper to taste
48 haricots verts (thin, French green beans), trimmed
16 baby carrots, greens trimmed to 1/4-inch
16 grape or cherry tomatoes, halved
16 Nicoise, Gaeta, or Kalamata olives, pitted and halved
1 red onion, thinly sliced
1 cup chervil sprigs

Steps:

  • Stir together 1/2 cup olive oil, 1 tablespoon parsley, and red pepper flakes. Toss tuna with marinade, and set aside to marinate for 30 minutes.
  • Pour vinegar, orange juice, lemon juice, lime juice, and soy sauce into the bowl of a blender. Add shallot, 1 tablespoon parsley, thyme, dill, honey, Dijon mustard, jalapeno, and ginger. Blend on high until smooth, then add 3/4 cups olive oil in a slow, steady stream with the blender running. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and set aside.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Fill another large container with half ice, half cold water, and set aside. Add the haricots verts to the boiling water, and cook until just tender, 35 to 40 seconds. Remove from the water, and immediately plunge into the ice water to cool. Next, blanch the carrots until just tender, about 1 1/2 minutes; chill in ice water until cold.
  • When the vegetables are cold, remove from the ice water and pat dry. Place into a large bowl, and toss with the halved tomatoes, olives, onion, and chervil; set aside.
  • Heat a heavy-bottomed skillet over high heat until very hot. Remove tuna steaks from marinade, and wipe off excess marinade. Season the tuna to taste with salt and pepper, then sear in hot skillet to desired doneness, about 1 minute per side for rare.
  • To assemble, toss the vegetable salad with enough dressing to lightly coat. Divide the salad among 4 plates, and place a seared tuna steak on top of each. Drizzle with additional dressing to serve.

CITRUS TUNA SALAD



Citrus Tuna Salad image

Easy to put together, this salad is low cal and low fat. No mayo or sour cream. Serve with saltine crackers, baked tortilla chips or tostadas. I like to add a chopped jalapeno (canned) or a good splash of Mexican hot sauce (Tapatio is very good). Adjust the amount of veggies and citrus juice to your taste. This also packs well for lunches as long as it's kept cold.
