Cuban Style Orange Citrus Avocado Toast Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Arrange the bread and almonds on a baking sheet, and bake, flipping the bread once, until it is toasted and crunchy and the almonds are golden, about 10 minutes. Set aside to cool.
• Meanwhile, put the vinegar, orange juice and zest, oil and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a jar or other container with a lid. Secure the lid, and shake until combined. (The vinaigrette can be made a day ahead; shake well before serving.)
• Put an avocado quarter on each slice of toast, and mash and spread the avocado with a fork to cover. Quarter each piece of toast, and arrange the pieces on 4 plates with the points facing out to make a square.
• Toss the arugula, toasted almonds, feta, radishes and vinaigrette in a medium bowl. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt if necessary. Put a mound of salad on top of each avocado toast square. Quarter the remaining orange half, and garnish each salad with a piece.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°. Toss orange and lemon slices with 1 tablespoon oil on a rimmed baking sheet; season with salt and pepper. Roast citrus, tossing occasionally, until lightly charred in spots and starting to caramelize, 10-15 minutes. This makes the citrus flavor more complex. Let cool.
• Meanwhile, combine onion and lemon juice in a large bowl; season with salt and pepper and let sit 5 minutes (onion will soften a bit and get slightly sweeter and less harsh).
• Add roasted citrus to bowl with onion along with arugula and mint. Drizzle remaining 3 tablespoons oil over; season with salt and pepper and toss everything to combine and coat.
• Add avocado and very gently toss until lightly dressed (you don't want to crush the avocado).

Steps:

• Using a sharp knife, remove all of the peel and pith from the citrus fruit. To section each fruit, cut between the membrane and flesh of each fruit and remove the flesh. You should have 2 cups fruit. After sectioning, squeeze the leftover membranes over a bowl to reserve the juice.
• Combine 3 tablespoon of reserved fruit juice, olive oil, vinegar, honey, mustard, salt, and pepper in a screw top jar. Close and shake vigorously to combine.
• Arrange mixed greens, Swiss chard, orange, grapefruit, and clementine sections, red onion, avocado, and cashews on a large serving platter. Drizzle with dressing.

Steps:

• Whisk together the lemon juice, caster sugar, mint and seasoning together until the sugar has dissolved; Gradually whisk in the oil.
• 30 minutes or less before serving, slice your avocados, and prepare your citrus fruits and toss together.
• Arrange the avocado, citrus fruits on individual serving dishes or plates and garnish with sprigs of mint; drizzle with dressing (or simply toss the dressing and the salad ingredients together and serve in a glass bowl).

Steps:

• Using a paring knife, remove peel and white pith from citrus, being careful not to remove too much of the flesh. Slice citrus into 1/2"-thick rounds, then cut into 1 1/2" pieces (it looks cool and is less fussy if pieces aren't too exact in shape and size). Transfer to a medium bowl and add kumquats, if using, lemon juice, orange-flower water, and salt. Toss and let sit 5 minutes so citrus can release some of their juices.
• Transfer citrus, leaving juice behind, to a large plate. Tuck avocado in between and around citrus.
• Spoon citrus juice over salad, scatter pistachios and tarragon over, and drizzle with oil.

Steps:

• Gently toss the first five ingredients. In a jar with a tight-fitting lid, combine the dressing ingredients; shake well. Drizzle over salad; toss to coat.

Steps:

• In a large salad bowl, combine the first five ingredients. In a jar with a tight-fitting lid, combine the oil, vinegar, garlic, sugar, curry powder and soy sauce; shake well. Drizzle over salad; toss to coat. Garnish with avocado.

Steps:

• Wash the citrus well, then pat dry with paper towels. Use a microplane to finely grate the zest of 1 orange into a medium bowl, avoiding the bitter white pith.
• Set the orange on a cutting board and use a sharp paring knife to cut off the top and bottom so the flesh is exposed and the fruit can sit upright. Use the knife to remove the rind from around the fruit, following the contours of the fruit and cutting carefully to remove all of the pith, but leaving as much flesh intact as possible. Holding the fruit in your non-dominant hand over a liquid measuring cup, use the knife to cut between the membranes to release the segments and transfer to a separate medium bowl. Let the juice drip into the measuring cup below as you cut. Once all of the segments have been released, squeeze the remaining juice from the membranes into the bowl. Repeat with the remaining citrus. Pour ¼ cup of the citrus juice into the bowl with the zest. Reserve the rest of the juice for another use.
• Very thinly slice the shallot crosswise using a mandoline or very sharp knife. Add the shallot to the bowl with the zest and juice and let sit for 10 minutes to mellow the sharp flavor of the shallot.
• Add the olive oil to the bowl with the citrus juice and shallot and whisk to emulsify. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Halve the avocado lengthwise. Remove the pit. Thinly slice the flesh inside the peel lengthwise, then in half crosswise.
• Spread the arugula on a serving platter and season with salt and pepper. Use a spoon to release the avocado slices into the bowl with the arugula, then add the citrus segments. Spoon the dressing over the salad and finish with a sprinkle of flaky salt. Serve immediately.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Combine olive oil, lemon juice, orange juice, lime juice, minced garlic, salt, and pepper in a 1-pint container or jar with tight-fitting lid. Tightly close the lid and shake until the ingredients are well blended. Refrigerate until ready to toss with the salad, or up to 3 days.
