Citrus Salad With Mint Sugar Recipes

Steps:

• Put the almonds, sugar and mint in a food processor and pulse briefly to make a coarse streusel-like topping. Transfer to a small bowl.
• Combine the grapefruits and oranges in a large decorative bowl. Combine the reserved citrus juices in a small saucepan (you should have at least 2 cups, if you don't, add enough fresh orange or grapefruit juice to make up the difference). Add the honey and fresh ginger and bring to a boil. Cook until the mixture is reduced by half. Remove from the heat and let cool to room temperature, at least 30 minutes. Remove the ginger and pour the mixture over the citrus. Cover and refrigerate the salad for at least 1 hour and up to 24 hours.
• Just before serving, stir in the blueberries. Top with the minted almond sugar and serve.

Steps:

• Arrange drained citrus in a flameproof casserole dish. Douse fruit with liqueur. Top fruit with 3 handfuls of brown sugar sprinkled evenly over the top. Place casserole under a hot broiler 6 inches from heat source for 7 or 8 minutes until sugar just begins to brown and bubble. Garnish warm casserole with torn or chopped fresh mint leaves and serve.

Steps:

• Combine watermelon, strawberries, peaches, nectarines, pear, and grapes in a large mixing bowl.
• Whisk lemon juice, mint, lemon zest, and honey together in a small bowl; drizzle over the fruit mixture and toss to coat.
• Refrigerate 1 hour before serving.

Steps:

• Working over a bowl to catch the juices, use a paring knife to slice between the sections and membranes of each grapefruit; remove the segments whole. Place each segment in bowl as completed. Repeat process with oranges in same bowl. Transfer to refrigerator. Recipe may be made up to this point 1 hour ahead.
• Make vinaigrette: In a small bowl, combine vinegar, honey, and salt and pepper to taste. Slowly whisk in olive oil, then canola oil, until mixture is well combined. Set vinaigrette aside.
• Just before serving, arrange radicchio and endive leaves on a large serving platter. Arrange grapefruit and orange segments in the center of the platter. Scatter red-onion slices over the top. Drizzle the reserved vinaigrette over the salad, and serve.

Steps:

• Cut peel and white pith from grapefruits and oranges. Cut between membranes to release segments. Combine fruit in large shallow bowl. (Fruit can be segmented 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
• Place mint and sugar in processor or blender. Using on/off turns, blend until mint is finely chopped, occasionally scraping down sides of bowl.
• Just before serving, sprinkle mint sugar and pomegranate seeds or dried cranberries/cherries over fruit; serve.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the fruit sour cream, marshmallows and coconut. Cover and refrigerate for several hours. If desired, serve in a lettuce-lined bowl or on individual lettuce-lined plates.

Steps:

• Place lime slices, tangerine sections, navel orange, and grapefruit in a bowl. In a separate bowl, mix the lime zest, mandarin orange zest, shallots, lemon juice, olive oil, and salt. Pour over the fruit. Arrange dressed fruit atop romaine lettuce to serve.
