Potato Orange And Arugula Salad Food

VIBRANT ORANGE & ARUGULA SALAD

Steps:

• First, toast the almonds: In a small skillet over medium heat, warm the almonds until they are fragrant and starting to turn golden on the edges, stirring frequently (careful, they'll burn!), about 5 minutes. Transfer them to a bowl to cool.
• Place the arugula on a large serving platter or into a large serving bowl. Arrange the oranges, toasted almonds, goat cheese and radishes on top. Sprinkle the top lightly with a pinch or two of cinnamon. Set aside.
• In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, honey and salt. Whisk together until blended. Taste, and add a little more honey if it's unpleasantly tart.
• Once you're ready to serve, drizzle the dressing lightly over the salad (you might have a little extra), toss, and serve immediately.

ARUGULA SALAD WITH SWEET POTATOES AND FETA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees. On a large rimmed baking sheet, toss sweet potatoes with 1 tablespoon olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Roast until tender and browned, 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool to room temperature.
• In a large bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons oil, grated orange zest, orange juice, and white-wine vinegar; season with salt and pepper. Add sweet potatoes, arugula, and feta. Toss to combine and serve immediately.

ORANGE, RED ONION AND ARUGULA SALAD

Steps:

• Separate the rounds into rings and hold them in ice water until serving time.
• In a mixing bowl combine the orange juice, vinegar and olive oil; season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Cut the peel and pith away from the oranges and slice them into thin rounds.
• Right before serving, make a bed of the arugula leaves, set concentric rounds of oranges on top. Drain onion rings and pat dry and scatter them over the oranges; spoon some of the dressing over the top and serve.

SWEET POTATO AND ARUGULA SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Spray a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.
• Toss the sweet potatoes in a large bowl with the olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes. Stir the potatoes and continue to bake until fork-tender, an additional 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool completely.
• In a large bowl, combine the cooled sweet potatoes, arugula and scallions. In a small bowl, whisk the mayonnaise with the lemon juice and Parmesan; season with salt and pepper. Just before serving, toss the dressing with the sweet potato and arugula mixture to coat.
