Kumquat Salad Recipes

Steps:

• To prepare the dressing, place extra virgin olive oil, red wine vinegar, brown sugar, and pepper in a small container with a lid. Shake well to blend.
• In a medium bowl, toss together baby salad greens, green onions, celery, carrot, broccoli, and cauliflower. Sprinkle avocado with lemon juice, and toss into the mixture. Sprinkle mixture with Asiago cheese and pine nuts. Toss in kumquats. Serve with the olive oil dressing.

Steps:

• Slice the kumquats into thin rounds, discarding the seeds. Combine the arugula, parsley, dates, kumquats and Parmesan in a large bowl. Whisk together the lemon juice and olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Pour over the salad and toss.

Steps:

• Bring two pans of water to the boil. Add the chicken breasts to one and cook for 2 mins. Turn off the heat, put a lid on top and leave to sit for 30 mins. Put the broccoli pieces in the other pan, cook for 2 mins, then drain and transfer immediately to a bowl of cold water. This will help it to retain its colour and bite.
• While the chicken is poaching, heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Put the bread cubes on a baking tray and cook for 10-12 mins until golden, then remove and leave to cool. Can be made a day ahead and stored in a container.
• Put the dressing ingredients with 1 tsp salt in a jar with a lid. Shake well and set aside. Can be made a day ahead. Put the kumquats, broccoli, radishes, onion, feta, almonds and chives into a serving bowl.
• When the chicken is done, remove from the water, leave to cool for 5 mins, then shred into chunky pieces and add to the salad. Just before serving, pour the dressing over and mix well.
