Description

A citrus salad of oranges and grapefruit, topped with crispy fried shallots, creamy burrata, and a simple vinaigrette.

Ingredients
  • 1 shallot, halved and thinly sliced
  • 2 oranges, peeled
  • 1 grapefruit, peeled
  • 1 tablespoon sliced chives
  • 5 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 1 tablespoons sherry vinegar
  • Pinch of red pepper flakes, to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon flaky salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
    Prepare the Ingredients
  1. 1

    Slice the two oranges and one grapefruit crosswise into ¼ inch slices.  Remove the seeds and any pithy parts from the slices and set aside.

  2. Fry the Shallots
  3. 2

    Heat a small skillet over medium heat.  Once hot, add 2 tablespoons olive oil and wait for the oil to heat, about 30 seconds. Add the thinly sliced shallots to the pan with a pinch of red pepper flakes, and let fry, adjusting the heat if the shallots get dark too quickly.  Let the shallots fry for 2-4 minutes until golden brown.  Remove the shallots with a slotted spoon and onto a paper-towel lined plate.  Set aside.

  4. Arrange the Salad and Enjoy
  5. 3

    On a serving plate, arrange the orange and grapefruit slices into a single layer. Break the ball of burrata into pieces and arrange over the citrus slices.

  6. 4

    Drizzle the olive oil and sherry vinegar over the orange, grapefruit, and burrata.  Sprinkle the flaky salt, freshly cracked black pepper, and a small pinch of red pepper flakes over the dish to taste.

  7. 5

    Arrange the fried shallots over the dish, serve immediately, and enjoy!  If there are any leftovers, separate the pieces of burrata from the citrus and store it separately.
