Pink Grapefruit Avocado And Pomegranate Salad With Nasturtium Flowers Recipes

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.

Steps:

• Peel grapefruits with a sharp knife, cutting away all white pith. Cut between membranes into individual segments, and place in a bowl along with any juices. Halve avocados, removing peel and pits. Slice into thin wedges and add to bowl with basil. Cut pomegranate crosswise. Holding a half cut-side down over bowl, hit the back side until all seeds have been released, then repeat with other half. Season with salt to taste, and toss lightly.
• In a small bowl, whisk together vinegar, olive oil, mustard and pomegranate molasses, and season with salt to taste. Toss salad with dressing. Divide among individual plates, sprinkle with sumac and garnish with nasturtium flowers.

Steps:

• Use a sharp knife to cut skin (and white pith) from grapefruits; cut into segments, reserving juice.
• Place lettuce in a large bowl with avocado. Drizzle with 1 to 2 tablespoons reserved grapefruit juice, olive oil, and vinegar. Season with salt and pepper; toss gently. Top with grapefruit segments.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F. Wrap beets in foil. Roast until beets are tender when pierced with fork, about 1 hour. Cool beets to room temperature. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead.

Drain segments, reserving 2 tablespoons juice. Cut segments into 3/4-inch pieces.
• Whisk vinegar, mustard and 2 tablespoons reserved grapefruit juice in small bowl to blend. Gradually whisk in oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
