Best Grapefruit Endive And Arugula Salad Recipes

ENDIVE SALAD WITH GRAPEFRUIT DRESSING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350˚ F. Spread the cashews in a single layer on a baking sheet and toast in the middle of the oven until the nuts are golden brown, 5 to 8 minutes. Sprinkle with salt.
• Make the vinaigrette: Grate the zest from 1/2 grapefruit (reserve the fruit) and juice 1 grapefruit. In a blender, combine the grapefruit zest and juice, mustard, honey, vinegar and vanilla on high speed. With the machine on, pour the olive oil through the top in a steady stream. Blend until smooth.
• Make the salad: Peel the reserved 1/2 grapefruit and cut into segments. Arrange the endive leaves on plates. Intersperse the endive with the grapefruit pieces and cashews. Drizzle with the vinaigrette. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt.

GRAPEFRUIT-ARUGULA SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Combine the walnuts, melted butter, brown sugar, cumin, paprika, cayenne and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl; toss, then spread the nuts on the prepared baking sheet. Bake until the nuts are golden brown, about 10 minutes. Stir, then set aside to cool.
• Meanwhile, make the dressing: Whisk the yogurt, lemon juice, honey, rice vinegar and a pinch each of salt and black pepper in a small bowl; set aside.
• Trim the tops and bottoms of the grapefruits, then use a paring knife to remove the peel and white pith. Cut between the membranes to release the segments into a large bowl.
• Add the spiced walnuts, celery, endive, arugula and chives to the bowl with the grapefruit. Add the yogurt dressing, season with salt and pepper and toss.

ARUGULA SALAD WITH TOASTED PINE NUTS AND FRESH GRAPEFRUIT IN A CITRUS AGAVE VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• To make the dressing: Blend the oil, vinegar, agave, and 1/4 cup grapefruit juice until combined. Adjust the proportions, to taste. Toss the arugula with the dressing and pine nuts, then season with salt and pepper. Top the salad with grapefruit segments.

AVOCADO AND GRAPEFRUIT SALAD

Steps:

• Place the mustard, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Slowly whisk in the olive oil until the vinaigrette is emulsified.
• Before serving, cut the avocados in 1/2, remove the seeds, and carefully peel off the skin. Cut each half into 4 thick slices. Toss the avocado slices in the vinaigrette to prevent them from turning brown. Use a large, sharp knife to slice the peel off the grapefruits (be sure to remove all the white pith), then cut between the membranes to release the grapefruit segments.
• Arrange the avocado slices around the edge of a large platter. Arrange the grapefruit segments in the center. Spoon the vinaigrette on top, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and serve.

ARUGULA, RADICCHIO AND PARMESAN SALAD

Steps:

• Place the arugula, radicchio and endive in a medium bowl.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Pour enough dressing on the salad to moisten. With a very sharp knife or a vegetable peeler, shave the Parmesan into large shards on top of the salad. Toss gently and serve immediately.

ENDIVE, AVOCADO, AND RED GRAPEFRUIT SALAD

Steps:

• Cut peels, including pith, from grapefruit; discard. Working over a bowl to catch any juices, cut segments from membranes, letting them fall into bowl. Squeeze the remaining juice from membranes into bowl.
• Whisk together vinegar, honey, sour cream, salt, and 3 tablespoons grapefruit juice in a small bowl. Season with pepper. While whisking, add oil in a slow steady stream; whisk until emulsified.
• Halve endives lengthwise, and core; cut leaves into 1-inch-thick pieces. Toss with three-quarters of the dressing. Cut avocado into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Divide endive and avocado among four plates. Drizzle each serving with one-quarter of the remaining dressing. Divide grapefruit segments among plates.

ARUGULA AND ENDIVE SALAD

Steps:

• Trim off and discard the bottom stems of arugula. Rinse the upper leaves well and drain. Dry.
• Pull off and discard any tough or marred outer leaves of the endive. Cut off and discard the bottom of each endive head. Separate the leaves of endive, rinse and dry.
• Spoon the mustard and balsamic and red-wine vinegars into a mixing bowl. Add salt and pepper, and start stirring vigorously with a whisk while gradually adding the oil.
• Put the greens into a mixing or salad bowl and gradually add the dressing, tossing gently with a salad fork and spoon. Add only enough to coat the leaves. Leftover dressing may be covered and refrigerated.
