For most people, the first thing that comes to mind when they see the word ADDICTION… They think ,this girl has gone crazy for sure.. Yes! i have …crazy addicted to fruits. And i will add them to almost anything just to enjoy their freshness and deliciousness. Lately i have been adding them to salads. My nephew is always like..” Aunty, not again!!” If im not adding random vegetables to salads , it is fruits ..lol! Who knows what i will add next.
So when it comes to salad making , i literally wing it. Like, i never have a plan, i just open the fridge, see whats there and make a plan. lol. As for the dressing , same thing, i make a plan with whatever is there. I did make a nice citrus dressing the other day. I tried to put a basic recipe for you below, after having to sit for a few hours trying to remember what i put into it. Fun times.
CITRUS VINAIGRETTE/ DRESSING
Ingredients
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
- 2 Tablespoons fresh squeezed orange juice
- 1 Tablespoon white wine vinegar
- 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon orange zest (approx. amount from 1 orange)
- dash salt (to taste)
- dash pepper (to taste)
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix together all ingredients until fully blended.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for several hours so the flavors can fully develop.
- When ready to serve, uncover, stir well to re-combine ingredients, and pour over salad. Enjoy!
I sometimes use an old spice bottle or peanut butter jar, add all ingredients and shake it up till blended. Below are some pictures of the salad ideas i have done with my favourite fruits.
