ORANGE SALAD

Steps:

• Spray a 6-cup gelatin mold or bundt pan with nonstick cooking spray. Place the gelatin in a medium bowl.
• Strain the pineapple and mandarin oranges, reserving the liquid in a large measuring cup. Set the fruit aside. Add enough water to the fruit juices to equal 2 cups. Transfer the juice mixture to a small saucepan and bring to a simmer over low heat. Pour the hot juice mixture over the gelatin and whisk to dissolve. Add the orange sherbet and stir until fully melted and combined.
• Add the sour cream and beat with an electric mixture until smooth, 1 to 2 minutes. Pour the mixture into the mold and add the reserved mandarins and pineapples, making sure to distribute the fruit evenly throughout. Refrigerate until fully set, at least 3 hours up to overnight.
• Carefully dip the mold in hot water for 15 to 30 seconds. Remove and place a platter over the top of the mold. Invert onto the platter and serve.

APPLE-ORANGE SALAD

Steps:

• Cut the ends off the navel and blood oranges, then cut away the peel and white pith. Working over a bowl, cut along both sides of each membrane with a paring knife to remove the segments, allowing them to drop into the bowl. Discard any seeds. Squeeze the juice from the membranes into a small bowl (you should have about 1 cup of juice).
• Bring the reserved orange juice, honey and ginger to a simmer in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook until syrupy, 8 to 10 minutes. Let cool completely; discard the ginger. Toss the syrup with the oranges and apples.

ORANGE VINAIGRETTE DRESSING

HALLOUMI, CARROT & ORANGE SALAD

• Using a vegetable peeler, peel carrot ribbons into the dressing bowl and toss gently. Heat a drizzle of oil in a frying pan and cook the halloumi for a few mins until golden on both sides. Toss the watercress through the dressed carrots. Arrange the watercress mixture on plates and top with the halloumi and oranges.
