Tropical Fruity Brunch Salad
Is it a fruit salad or a green salad? Who cares, it's perfect for brunch! This over-the-top tropical salad balances sweet and bitter flavors and will make a welcome, fresh addition to any brunch spread.
Ingredients
For the Dressing
- 3 tbsp fresh-squeezed tangerine juice
- 1 tbsp macadamia nut (or other rich nut) oil
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- Very generous flaky sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
For the Salad
- Small head of radicchio
- Romaine heart
- 2 c baby spinach
- Assorted fruits of choice
- Handful of sunflower sprouts
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the dressing ingredients.
- Cut the radicchio into thin ribbons, add it to the dressing, and toss. Let the radicchio sit in the dressing while you cut the fruit; this will help it to tenderize and mellow. Don't add the other greens yet.
- Prepare the fruit as needed by peeling, slicing, removing seeds, etc.
- When ready to serve, cut the romaine into thin ribbons and add it to the radicchio. Add the spinach and toss.
- Transfer the greens to a serving platter and top with sliced fruit.
- Garnish with a handful of sprouts scattered across the top.
