On the eve of the holidays, and on a normal day, I want to please myself with something unusual. And with traditional dishes you will not surprise anyone. But, fortunately, now the chefs have opened many new recipes for salads and other dishes with which you can pamper yourself and loved ones. In this article we will talk about salads with oranges and learn some new and interesting recipes. Such dishes are tasty and refreshing. Although, perhaps, not everyone will like it because of the specific ingredient.
Salad with orange and crab sticks
Ingredients:
- Two hundred grams of thawed crab sticks.
- Two medium-sized oranges.
- One can of canned corn.
- Three boiled chicken eggs.
- One peeled garlic clove.
- Mayonnaise for dressing.
Eggs and crab sticks should be chopped and mixed with canned corn. Peeled oranges must be diced. But try to do this as carefully as possible so that they do not make porridge. Mix the salad, add garlic, which can be squeezed out with a special crush or rub on a fine grater. Season with mayonnaise and mix well. You can refrigerate for a while so that the ingredients are saturated with mayonnaise.
Chicken Salad
For chicken salad with oranges, you will need approximately half a kilogram of boiled chicken fillet (a little less can be) and two hundred grams of hard cheese. In addition, two medium oranges, four boiled eggs and three cloves of garlic. For dressing use mayonnaise and chopped dill for decoration.
Chicken, oranges and eggs must be cut so that the slices are approximately the same. Cheese, according to tradition, is ground on a medium grater, and it is also necessary to grate the garlic, but finer. Mix all ingredients, season with mayonnaise and sprinkle salad with chopped dill before serving.
Warm salad
We are used to the fact that the salad is a cold appetizer, but why not try a warm salad?
You will need only ten simple ingredients. First of all, three hundred grams of fresh chicken liver and one orange. For refueling:
- two teaspoons of honey and as much balsamic vinegar;
- two tablespoons of orange juice and olive oil;
- salt and black pepper;
- a bunch of green salad;
- some black sesame seeds.
Orange is peeled with a knife. It should be done so that along with it cut off some of the pulp. You also need to carefully remove the segments from the slices and set them aside. The pulp that remains will still come in handy. You can squeeze juice out of it. One teaspoon of balsamic vinegar and honey and a tablespoon of olive oil are added to the resulting juice. Salt the resulting mixture and pepper to taste. Try to mix very well to get a homogeneous mass.
The liver must be washed well and cut into fairly large pieces. You can just divide it in half. Put on warmed olive oil so that the pieces do not touch each other. Fry until a piece of golden crust appears on each side. Do not forget to add salt and a little black pepper before changing the side of the roasting. Prepare the mixture in advance from a teaspoon of honey and balsamic vinegar and add it to the pan when the liver is almost ready. In this state, it remains on fire for another one or two minutes. This is necessary in order to have time to evaporate vinegar.
The liver immediately from the pan is laid out on plates, spread orange slices next to it, on top you can put a little salad and be sure to pour in a pre-cooked dressing. Before serving, you can also sprinkle with sesame seeds. Serve on the table while the liver is still hot.
