- 1 large jicama, peeled and julienne sliced into matchsticks (about 1 1/2 cups) ⓘ
- 1 cup broccoli, slaw (pre-packaged, optional, optional) (optional) or 1 cup julienne carrot (pre-packaged) (optional) ⓘ
- 2 ruby red grapefruits, sectioned (remove pith and peel) ⓘ
- 12 cup dried cranberries ⓘ
- 12 cup finely minced green onion (include both green and white parts) ⓘ
- 14 cup diced pimento (jarred) ⓘ
- 14 cup extra virgin olive oil ⓘ
- 14 cup red wine vinegar (I used Pomegranate flavored) ⓘ
- 14 cup orange juice ⓘ
- 13 cup raw honey ⓘ
- 1 teaspoon dried dill
Instructions
- In a medium-large bowl with lid, combine the cucumbers, jicama, broccoli slaw (if using), cranberries, onions and pimento.
- Section grapefruit, and add to bowl; include as much of the grapefruit juice as possible.
- In a smaller bowl, combine EVOO, vinegar, orange juice and honey.
- Whisk until well blended, about 20 seconds.
- Add dried dill to dressing, whisk to blend.
- Pour dressing over vegetables and fruit.
- Stir well to coat.
- Serve immediately or chill 1-2 hours for best flavor.
- Serve as a side salad for grilled chicken, ribs, or bar-b-q.
- NOTE: CUCUMBERS: To de-seed cucumbers easily, peel, then slice the cucumbers in the half in the long direction.
- Using a melon baller tool, run melon baller down center of each cucumber half, removing and discarding seeds.
- A teaspoon can be used if melon baller tool is not available.
- GRAPEFRUIT: To make things easier, I cut my grapefruit in half and sectioned them with a grapefruit spoon as if to have them for breakfast.
- I removed the sections and then squeezed the juice into the salad.
- This made the sectioning and the clean-up a lot easier.
