This salad hints at ambrosia salad, that 1950s potluck standby of citrus, coconut, marshmallows, and maraschino cherries. This lighter, fresher, and more savory version swaps in crisp Bibb lettuce for the marshmallows and cherries and an herb-mustard vinaigrette for the whipped cream.
Ingredients
- 3 oranges
- ¼cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon snipped fresh tarragon
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 heads Bibb lettuce, torn
- 1 pink grapefruit, peeled and thinly sliced
- 2 clementines, peeled and separated into segments
- 2 tablespoons snipped chives
- ½ cup unsweetened flaked coconut, toasted
How to Make It
- For dressing, squeeze juice from 1 orange and transfer to a small bowl. Whisk in oil, tarragon, and mustard.
- Peel and thinly slice the remaining 2 oranges.
- Place lettuce in a large bowl. Drizzle with dressing; toss to coat. Add orange slices, grapefruit slices, and clementine segments. Lightly toss to mix. Arrange salad on platter. Sprinkle with chives and toasted coconut.
