Orange Tomato Cucumber Salad With Orange And Maple Dressing Recipes

Steps:

• In a large pot fitted with a steamer basket, steam the sweet potatoes in batches until just tender, 12 to 15 minutes per batch. Transfer them to a large bowl and let cool to room temperature.
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl, make the Orange-Maple Dressing by whisking the olive oil, maple syrup, orange juice, vinegar, ginger, nutmeg and salt.
• Add the green onions, parsley, pecans and raisins to the cooled sweet potatoes. Pour the Orange-Maple Dressing over the potato mixture and toss gently to combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper. This salad can be made several hours ahead of time; cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Steps:

• Put onion, garlic, vinegar and olive oil in a large mixing bowl. Let macerate for 10 minutes.
• Add roasted peppers, cherry tomatoes, cucumbers and celery. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and toss well. Let macerate for at least 20 minutes, tossing several times with the dressing. You can also prepare the ingredients in advance, and assemble the salad up to 1 hour before serving.
• To serve, toss once more and transfer to a deep platter or wide bowl. Sprinkle with parsley and feta.

Steps:

• Peel the cucumber and then slice it. Cut the slices in half. Place those into a bowl.
• Chunk the tomatoes and place them on top of the cucumber.
• Peel 1 orange and slice it, then chunk the slices up and put them on top of the tomato.
• Slice the second orange in half and, using a hand held juicer (or whatever it is you use to extract orange juice!) juice it.
• To the orange juice add the maple syrup and black pepper.
• Pour the dressing over the veggies and stir to combine.
• Chill until ready to eat.

Steps:

• On two salad plates, arrange the lettuce, orange sections and cucumber. In a small bowl, whisk the orange juice, honey, oil and vinegar. Drizzle over salads.

Steps:

• Cut peel, including all white pith, from oranges and cut oranges crosswise into 1/4-inch slices.

• Whisk together remaining ingredients in a bowl until combined, then pour over orange slices and cucumbers.
