GRAPEFRUIT VINAIGRETTE WITH GREENS OR BROCCOLI



Grapefruit Vinaigrette With Greens or Broccoli image

I came across a grapefruit vinaigrette, served with stuffed beet greens, in Anya von Bremzen's "The New Spanish Table" and have adapted it. I loved the idea of this vinaigrette as an accompaniment to greens, such as chard or beet greens, but my favorite is broccoli.

SICILIAN-STYLE CITRUS SALAD



Sicilian-Style Citrus Salad image

Winter is the season when many kinds of citrus fruits suddenly appear. For this savory fruit salad, a mixture of navel, blood and Cara Cara oranges and a small grapefruit make a colorful display. It's fine to use just one kind of orange, blood oranges being the classic example. Thinly sliced fennel, celery and red onion add a tasty bit of crunch. The salad is dressed assertively with oil and vinegar, and scattered with olives and flaky sea salt.

Categories     brunch, dinner, easy, lunch, salads and dressings, appetizer, side dish

Time 30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 to 4 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons sherry vinegar or red wine vinegar
Salt and pepper
2 navel oranges
4 blood oranges
2 Cara Cara oranges
1 small grapefruit
1 small red onion, very thinly sliced
1 small fennel bulb, very thinly sliced, enough to make 1 cup
2 or 3 tender inside celery stalks, thinly sliced at an angle
Handful of olives, black oil cured type or green Castelvetrano type, pitted
Winter salad leaves, such as radicchio or escarole, optional
Large pinch of flaky sea salt

Steps:

  • Make the vinaigrette: Whisk together olive oil and vinegar in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper and set aside. It should be tart but not over-vinegary. Taste and add a little more olive oil if necessary.
  • To peel the citrus fruit, use a small serrated knife. First, cut off a thin slice of peel from the top and bottom of the orange, so it can sit flat and securely on the cutting board. Use a sawing motion to take off the peel, cutting from top to bottom, following the curve of the fruit. Remove only the peel and white pith, not the flesh of the orange. It should now be perfectly spherical and naked. Peel remaining oranges and grapefruit in this fashion.
  • Carefully slice peeled citrus crosswise. Arrange slices on a large serving platter in a random pattern, letting them overlap a bit here and there. Scatter onion, fennel and celery over top. Dot the surface with olives. Surround with salad leaves, if using.
  • Whisk vinaigrette, and spoon evenly over the salad. Sprinkle lightly with flaky salt and serve.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh, seasonal winter greens. Look for kale, collard greens, mustard greens, and turnip greens with bright, crisp leaves.
  • Wash the greens thoroughly before using them. Remove any tough stems or leaves.
  • To make the grapefruit vinaigrette, use a good quality olive oil and fresh grapefruit juice. You can also add a little honey or maple syrup to taste.
  • When massaging the greens, use your hands to gently work the vinaigrette into the leaves. This will help to soften the greens and make them more flavorful.
  • Serve the salad immediately, or store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

Conclusion:

This winter greens salad with grapefruit vinaigrette is a delicious and healthy way to enjoy the bounty of the season. The bright, citrusy flavor of the grapefruit pairs perfectly with the hearty greens, and the almonds and feta cheese add a nice touch of crunch and flavor. This salad is sure to be a hit at your next gathering, and it's also a great way to get your daily dose of fruits and vegetables.
