CITRUS SALAD

Steps:

• Mix dressing ingredients together well and put in refrigerator.
• I use some or all of the ingredients below depending on my mood! They all go well with the dressing!
• •Chopped red onion (about a tablespoon).
• •Chop up the orange reserved from the dressing.
• •Small can mandarin oranges.
• •Feta cheese
• •Chopped glazed walnuts (a small handful).
• •Small tart apple chopped (squeeze some lemon juice on apple after chopping to keep from browning).
• •Chopped Pear
• •Chopped Craisins® (The orange flavored ones are great).
• •Chopped green onion (1 or 2 stocks).
• •Avocado (best if you don't use the feta).
• •Chopped carrots (3 or 4 baby carrots).
• Make a bed with desired greens or lettuce and add above ingredients. Then pour dressing over top. Good with cooked chicken or shrimp!

CITRUS SALAD WITH POMEGRANATE

Steps:

• Cut the pomegranate into quarters, then press back the outer skin to push the seeds out into a bowl.
• Using a sharp knife, cut a slice off the top and bottom of the grapefruit, then remove the peel and pith, cutting downward. Cut out the segments from between the membranes, then add to the pomegranate.
• Finely grate the rind of half an orange and set aside. Using a sharp knife, cut a slice off the top and bottom of both oranges, then remove the peel and pith, cutting downward and being careful to retain the shape of the oranges. Slice horizontally into slices, then cut into quarters. Add the oranges to the pomegranate and grapefruit and stir to mix well.
• Combine the orange rind with the lime rind, garlic, vinegar, lime juice, sugar and mustard in a nonmetallic bowl. Season to taste, then whisk in the oil.
• Cut the avocado in half lengthwise and twist the 2 halves in opposite directions to separate. Stab the pit with the point of a sharp knife and lift out. Carefully peel off the skin, dice the flesh, and toss in lime juice to prevent discoloration.
• Place the lettuce in a serving bowl. Top with the fruit and avocado then pour over the dressing and toss. Garnish with the onion and serve immediately.
