RED CABBAGE SLAW WITH CILANTRO AND CITRUS

Steps:

• In a salad bowl, toss together cabbage, carrots, cilantro, and green onions. In a small bowl, whisk together remainder of ingredients to make a light dressing. Toss cabbage mixture with dressing. Taste and adjust seasonings.

SWEET & TANGY CITRUS SLAW

Steps:

• Combine all of the ingredients in a large bowl and toss well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight. Stir well, then taste and adjust seasoning, if necessary (I sometimes add a bit more sugar or honey).

CITRUS CABBAGE SALAD

Steps:

• Cut the cabbage in half and cut out the core. Cut the halves in half and then slice them thinly like you would for coleslaw. Place the cabbage in a large serving bowl.
• Thinly slice the onion into half moons and add it in with the cabbage. Segment the orange and grapefruit, but don't discard the membranes. Add the citrus segments to the cabbage.
• Add the pomegranate seeds, cilantro, and toasted pepitas to the salad and then make the vinaigrette.
• Pour half the vinaigrette over the salad and toss everything together. Taste for seasoning and add additional vinaigrette as needed. Cover the salad and refrigerate for 15-30 minutes before serving so that the flavors can marry.
• In a small bowl or jar with a lid squeeze all of the juices from the remaining grapefruit and orange membranes. Add the remaining vinaigrette ingredients to the juice. Whisk or shake until thoroughly combined.

RED CABBAGE-CITRUS SLAW

Steps:

• Put the lemon juice, orange juice, honey, mustard, basil and some salt and pepper in a blender and blend until smooth. With the motor running, drizzle in the canola oil until emulsified.
• Combine the Napa cabbage, red cabbage and carrot in a large bowl; add half of the dressing and toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper, and add more dressing if needed.

SICILIAN-STYLE CITRUS SALAD

Steps:

• Make the vinaigrette: Whisk together olive oil and vinegar in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper and set aside. It should be tart but not over-vinegary. Taste and add a little more olive oil if necessary.
• To peel the citrus fruit, use a small serrated knife. First, cut off a thin slice of peel from the top and bottom of the orange, so it can sit flat and securely on the cutting board. Use a sawing motion to take off the peel, cutting from top to bottom, following the curve of the fruit. Remove only the peel and white pith, not the flesh of the orange. It should now be perfectly spherical and naked. Peel remaining oranges and grapefruit in this fashion.
• Carefully slice peeled citrus crosswise. Arrange slices on a large serving platter in a random pattern, letting them overlap a bit here and there. Scatter onion, fennel and celery over top. Dot the surface with olives. Surround with salad leaves, if using.
• Whisk vinaigrette, and spoon evenly over the salad. Sprinkle lightly with flaky salt and serve.
