Citrus Arugula Salad

Method

Citrus Arugula Salad

1

Prepare citrus and dressing

Peel the orange and grapefruit: using a sharp knife, cut off top and bottom, then slice away peel and pith. Working over a bowl to catch juices, segment each fruit by cutting between membranes. Reserve any juice for the dressing.

2

In a small jar or bowl combine olive oil, white wine vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard and 1 to 2 tablespoons of reserved citrus juice. Whisk or shake until emulsified. Season with 1/2 teaspoon sea salt and 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper. Taste and adjust acidity or salt.

3

In a large bowl place the baby arugula, add thinly sliced red onion and citrus segments. Pour dressing over salad and toss gently to coat, taking care not to break citrus segments.

4

Scatter toasted sliced almonds on top and serve immediately.

Herbed New Potatoes

5

Place halved or quartered new potatoes in a medium pot and cover with cold water by 1 inch. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a simmer and cook until potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork, about 10–12 minutes depending on size.

6

While potatoes cook, heat a large skillet over medium heat and melt the butter with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add minced garlic and cook 30–45 seconds until fragrant but not browned.

7

Drain potatoes well and transfer to the skillet. Increase heat to medium-high and let potatoes sear for 2–3 minutes without stirring to develop a light crust, then toss and cook another 2–3 minutes until lightly golden.

8

Remove from heat and stir in chopped parsley, chives, thyme leaves, remaining 1/2 teaspoon sea salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning. Serve warm.

Lemon Garlic Roasted Asparagus

9

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment.

10

Arrange trimmed asparagus in a single layer on the prepared sheet. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil, sprinkle minced garlic, sea salt and black pepper. Toss gently on the pan to coat each spear.

11

Roast in the preheated oven until asparagus is tender-crisp and lightly browned at the tips, 10–12 minutes depending on thickness.

12

Remove from oven, grate lemon zest over asparagus and squeeze 1 tablespoon lemon juice across. If using, sprinkle finely grated Parmesan and let rest 1 minute so cheese melts slightly. Transfer to a serving platter.
