Avocado Fruit Salad With Tangerine Vinaigrette Recipes

Steps:

• Arrange avocados and fruit on a serving plate; sprinkle with mint and almonds. In a small bowl, whisk dressing ingredients until blended; drizzle over salad.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, toss together the baby greens, red onion, walnuts, blue cheese, and lemon zest. Mix in the apple and avocado just before serving.
• In a container with a lid, mix the mandarin orange juice, lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic, olive oil, and salt. Drizzle over the salad as desired.

Steps:

• Heat grill to high. Brush tuna with oil; sear 1 1/2 minutes per side. Remove from grill; set aside to cool.
• Dressing
• Combine first 6 ingredients in a bowl; whisk until blended. Stir in zests. Add salt and pepper. Toss frisée with 1 tablespoon dressing. Divide frisée between 2 bowls; surround frisée with fennel slices. Top with orange, tangerine and avocado. Drizzle each bowl with 1 tablespoon dressing. Thinly slice tuna and place half on top of each salad. Top with fennel fronds.

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, combine the orange juice, vinegar and honey; season with salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook until thickened, syrupy and reduced by about two-thirds, 8 to 10 minutes. Add the chili powder and refrigerate until cooled completely, about 1 hour.
• Arrange the orange and avocado on a round platter, shingling the pieces in a circular formation. Season with salt and pepper. Drizzle the orange vinaigrette over the salad and finish with the extra-virgin olive oil.

Steps:

• The Vinaigrette: To make the vinaigrette, combine the olive oil, white wine vinegar, Dijon mustard and salt and pepper to taste in a screw top jar, and shake well to combine. Taste and adjust the seasoning, to taste.
• The Avocado: Cut the avocados in half lengthways and gently twist the halves to separate. To remove the seed, insert a sharp knife into it, then twist and lift out.
• Brush the surfaces with lemon juice and place the avocado halves on 4 serving plates, shake the dressing again and drizzle it evenly over the avocado halves.
• Serve with buttered toast triangles (more traditional) or warm crusty rolls.
• Notes: An avocado is ripe if it feels a little soft when held in your hand. To help ripen an avocado, put it in a paper bag with a ripe banana or apple and store in an airy spot. You can now buy avocados that don't discolour when cut, but are they, I wonder, genetically modified?

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.

Steps:

• For dressing, in a small bowl, combine the first nine ingredients. Divide salad greens among eight plates. Slice avocados; arrange avocados and tangerines over greens. Drizzle with dressing; sprinkle with cheese and bacon.

Steps:

• In large bowl, whisk together lime juice, honey, vinegar, salt,garlic, ginger, cayenne and jalapeno.
• With a vegetable peeler, remove 2 long strips of peel (orange part only) from 1 tangerine.
• Cut strips into 1/8-inch zest matchsticks.
• Peel tangerines and separate into segments.
• Cut segments crosswise into 2 or 3 pieces.
• Add avocado, zest, and tangerines to bowl, toss to combine.
• Chill until serving time.
• Sprinkle with sunflower seeds just before serving.

Steps:

• Cook the shrimp: In a pot, combine 1 quart water with 1 tablespoon salt. Add peppercorns and bay leaves and bring to a boil over high heat.
• Prepare an ice bath: Add enough ice to a large bowl until half full. Sprinkle the ice with 2 tablespoons salt and top with enough cold water to cover. Set aside.
• When the water boils, stir the shrimp into the hot water and turn off the heat. Let cook until just pink and opaque, 1 to 2 minutes depending on size of shrimp. Drain shrimp and transfer to the ice bath. Stir well and set aside until shrimp are completely chilled, 3 to 5 minutes. Drain shrimp again and transfer to paper or kitchen towels to dry.
• Make the dressing: In a medium bowl, stir together tomatoes, red onion, oil, fruit juices, herbs and mustard. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Add shrimp, toss to coat and chill for at least 1 hour (or up to 1 day).
• When ready to serve, peel and dice the avocado and fold into the shrimp salad. Serve chilled, in a serving bowl or on individual plates lined with lettuce leaves.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Trim and wash beets, and put them in a baking dish. Add a splash of water, and cover tightly. Roast 45 to 60 minutes, until tender.
• Let beets cool, then peel and cut into wedges. Place in bowl, and season with salt and pepper; add red wine vinegar and 1 tablespoon olive oil, and toss gently.
• Combine shallots with white wine vinegar, lemon and orange juices and pinch of salt. Macerate 15 minutes. Whisk in 3/4 cup olive oil, and stir in chervil and zest. Adjust seasonings.
• Cut avocados in half lengthwise, and remove pits. Leaving skin intact, cut avocados lengthwise into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Scoop out slices with a large spoon, and arrange on a platter or individual dishes. Season with salt and pepper. Arrange beets on top, and drizzle with shallot mixture. Garnish with chervil sprigs.
