Citrus Dressing And Arugula Salad Recipes

ARUGULA SALAD

Steps:

• Place the arugula, carrots, and tomatoes in a large bowl.
• In a small bowl or large measuring cup, whisk together the dressing ingredients: lemon juice, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, and salt. (Alternatively, you can shake them all together in a mason jar with a tight-fitting lid).
• Drizzle enough over the arugula to moisten it, then toss to combine.
• Sprinkle Parmesan and any desired nuts or herbs over the top. Serve immediately with a drizzle of extra dressing as desired.

SEARED SALMON WITH CITRUS AND ARUGULA SALAD

Steps:

• Make the glaze for the salmon: In a small bowl, whisk 2 tablespoons olive oil with the orange juice, mustard, half the chopped garlic and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Set aside.
• Make the salad dressing: In another small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons olive oil with the lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Stir in the shallots and the remaining garlic, then set aside.
• Using a small serrated knife, peel the grapefruit and oranges and trim to remove any remaining pith. Slice all the peeled fruit crosswise into thin circles (no larger than 1/2-inch thick); remove the seeds and set aside.
• Heat a 12-inch cast-iron or heavy stainless-steel skillet over medium-high until it's extremely hot (a drop of water flicked onto the pan should turn to steam almost immediately), about 3 minutes. Meanwhile, pat the salmon fillets dry using paper towels, brush both sides with olive oil, and season all over with salt and pepper.
• When the pan is ready, cook the salmon fillets skin-side down over medium-high without moving until the salmon skin releases easily from the pan, 3 to 4 minutes. Using a pair of tongs or a spatula, wiggle the fillets to loosen the skin from the bottom of the pan, then carefully flip. Lower the heat to medium and cook until the salmon is cooked through but still slightly rare in the center, 4 to 5 more minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets.
• Transfer to a rimmed plate or serving dish, and brush the glaze all over the salmon, making sure to coat the fillets.
• Combine the arugula and fennel in a large bowl. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss well. Add the avocado, citrus rounds and pistachios, and toss gently. Transfer to a shallow serving bowl or platter and serve alongside the salmon.

ARUGULA-CITRUS SALAD WITH PORK

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Combine 1/4 cup cold water, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a small baking dish. Pierce the pork chops all over with a fork; add to the brine. Let sit, flipping once, 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, whisk the mayonnaise, Worcestershire sauce and honey mustard in a shallow dish. Combine the crushed croutons and parmesan in another shallow dish. Put the flour on a plate.
• Remove the pork from the brine; pat dry. Dredge in the flour, then the mayonnaise mixture, and then the crouton mixture, pressing to coat. Transfer to a rack set on a baking sheet. Bake until golden and cooked through, about 20 minutes.
• Slice off the top and bottom of 3 oranges with a paring knife, then cut off the peel and pith. Slice into rounds, discard any seeds and transfer to a large bowl. Squeeze the juice of the remaining 2 oranges into the bowl.
• Cut the pork chops into 1/2-inch pieces. Add the pork, arugula, onion and olive oil to the bowl; toss. Season with salt and pepper.

ARUGULA SALAD WITH AVOCADO CITRUS VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Place the avocado, red onion, lime juice, grapefruit juice, rice wine vinegar, black pepper, and sea salt in a blender, and process until smooth, about 30 seconds. While the blender is running, drizzle in the olive oil; add honey, cilantro, mint, and basil leaves, and process for a few more seconds to leave the herbs visible as small flecks.
• Toss the arugula, kalamata olives, and cherry tomatoes in a salad bowl; sprinkle with shaved Parmesan cheese. Pour vinaigrette over the salad, and toss to serve.
