Ingredients
- 1 vanilla persimmon or mango, thinly sliced
- 5 blood oranges (Thinly slice 4 of the oranges for the salad. Juice 1 for the dressing.)
- 2 tablespoons mint, julienned
- 1 teaspoon red onion, finely diced
- 4 tablepoons cheese/cheeze of choice (For vegetarians, I recommend Macedonian feta; for vegans, make salted vegan cream cheese, by putting purchased cream cheese in a small bowl and sprinkling salt on it. Mash together well, and then taste and add more salt as needed.)
- 3 tablespoons salad oil
- pinch sugar or other sweetener (If you’re not a vegan, honey is a nice option here. I probably wouldn’t use maple syrup or anything with a dominant flavour.)
Instructions
- Make the dressing: Put 1 tablespoon of blood orange juice, along with the salad oil, and a pinch of sugar/sweetener in a small bowl and stir well to combine.
- Plate the salad, dividing the ingredients evenly between the plates
- Top with the dressing.
- Enjoy!
