The dressing in this salad is devine. I served this colourful salad buffet style at a recent family reunion Ingredients:
1/2 cup olive oil (grapeseed oil or safflower oil) |
1/3 cup sugar |
3 tablespoons cider vinegar |
1 teaspoon lime zest, grated |
2 tablespoons lime juice |
1 garlic, minced |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon poppy seed |
1/2 teaspoon paprika |
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard |
2 oranges, peeled, seeded and sectioned |
1 red apple, chopped |
2 1/2 cups broccoli florets, cut into bite size pieces |
1 cup red grapes, halved (seedless or green grapes) |
1/2 cup pecans, toasted and chopped |
Directions:
1. Dressing: In a medium bowl, whisk together oil, sugar, vinegar, lime zest, lime juice, garlic, salt, poppy seeds, paprika and mustard. Set aside.
2. Salad: In a large bowl, combine oranges, apple, broccoli and grapes. Add dressing and gently toss to coat. Cover and chill for at least 2 hours, until chilled, or for up to 6 hours. Sprinkle with pecans.
3. Dressing can be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
4. Variation: use a chopped red skinned pear in place of the apple and toasted hazelnuts or walnuts in place of the pecans.
