Fruit Salad With Cranberry Dressing Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Arrange almonds in a single layer on a baking sheet. Toast in oven for 5 minutes, or until nuts begin to brown.
• In a blender or food processor, combine the vinegar, oil, cranberries, mustard, garlic, salt, pepper, and water. Process until smooth.
• In a large bowl, toss the almonds, onion, blue cheese, and greens with the vinegar mixture until evenly coated.

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, combine the cranberries, water and sugar. Cook and stir over medium heat until berries pop, about 15 minutes. Remove from the heat; cool slightly., In a large bowl, combine the remaining ingredients. Add cranberry mixture; stir gently. Refrigerate until serving.

Steps:

• For the citrus salad: Cut off the top and bottom of the oranges, then stand them on the cutting board. Use a sharp knife to remove all of the rind and pith, trying not to cut into the fruit itself. You should be able to see the segments and the pith separating them. Working over a bowl to collect the juice, use the knife to cut the segments away from the membrane; reserve the segments. Squeeze the leftover membrane into the bowl to collect any juice from the remaining fruit still attached. Reserve the juice for the drizzle.
• For the cranberry concord drizzle: Whisk 3 tablespoons of the collected orange juice in a separate bowl with the olive oil, Cranberry Concord Syrup, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper (reserve any remaining orange juice for another use).
• Put the lettuce in a large, wide bowl and put the orange segments on top. Drizzle with the cranberry concord drizzle and serve.
• Combine the cranberries, grape jam, grape juice, sugar and orange zest in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries are very soft and easily break apart when pushed with a wooden spoon, about 20 minutes. Do not simmer too hard or the sauce may boil over. Let cool, then strain the syrup into a small pitcher.

Steps:

• Toss grapes, strawberries and blueberries with sugar in a medium bowl. Stir in lime juice, and poppy seeds. Let sit at room temperature for at least 1/2 an hour. Garnish with pistachios and serve.

Steps:

• Pour the canned fruit, with its juice, into a serving bowl. Core the apple but do not peel it. Cut the apple into bite-size pieces and add the pieces to the bowl. Stir to coat the apples with the juice.
• Slice the banana and add it to the bowl. Add the grapes, cutting them in half, if desired. Set the fruit aside, without stirring, until just before serving.
• When you are ready to serve the salad, stir the fruit and serve it in small bowls. Spoon a little of the dressing on top of each bowl and pass the rest at the table.
• NOTE: If you are waiting a while to serve the salad, don't peel, slice, or add the banana until right before serving. The banana can hold in the salad for only about 10 minutes before turning brown and mushy.
• Strawberry Yogurt Dressing: Pour the yogurt into a small mixing bowl. Add the orange zest (if using) and the orange juice. Stir until well combined. Spoon over fruit salad or refrigerate, covered, until ready to serve, up to 24 hours.

Steps:

• In a blender, whisk egg white, mustard, lemon juice and red wine vinegar until frothy.
• While blender is still running, slowly pour in the cranberry concentrate, allowing it to infuse gradually into the egg white mixture.
• Mix the two oils together in a small bowl, and let it gradually stream into the blender, continuing to whisk until the dressing has emulsified, and has thickened.
• Turn off the blender at this point, and pour dressing into a large bowl. Stir in the dill and add the salt, pepper and sugar to your liking. You might like yours sweeter or more tart than mine, so I'll leave the amounts up to you.
• If using it on broiled Salmon, you can marinate the fish for 20-30 minutes before broiling or brush it on the fish in the final minutes of grilling.

Steps:
