Baby Romaine And Grapefruit Salad Food

CITRUS ROMAINE SALAD

• Arrange the romaine, grapefruit, oranges and avocados on eight individual salad plates. Sprinkle with croutons. Serve with salad dressing.

BABY LETTUCES WITH SHALLOT VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, sherry vinegar, Dijon and shallot. Season with the salt.
• Pile the baby lettuce leaves on a platter and drizzle with the dressing. Sprinkle with the Parmesan shavings and serve.

GRAPEFRUIT, ROMAINE AND RED ONION SALAD

Steps:

• On each dinner plate make a wreath of romaine. Make an inner circle with onions and grapefruit. Pour over dressing.

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.

HAND SALAD WITH BUTTERMILK, GRAPEFRUIT, AND MIXED SEEDS

Steps:

• Toast coriander seeds and fennel seeds in a dry small skillet over medium heat, shaking often, until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Let cool. Using the side of a chef's knife, lightly crush spices on a cutting board. Transfer to a small bowl and mix in garlic, lemon zest, and cream. Cover and chill 1 hour.
• Strain infused cream through a fine-mesh sieve into a medium bowl; add buttermilk and whisk until soft peaks form. Season with salt, then mix in grated chile.
• Whisk grapefruit juice, lemon juice, vinegar, and ginger in a large bowl and season with salt. Add lettuce wedges to bowl, season with salt, and toss to coat. Arrange lettuce wedges on a platter.
• Using a small spoon, swipe some infused cream over lettuce wedges. Sprinkle with half of assorted seeds, then drizzle with oil and top with Aleppo-style pepper and grapefruit zest.
• Sprinkle remaining assorted seeds over remaining infused cream and serve alongside lettuce wedges for dipping.
