Citrus starter

[tarheelmjfan]

On Infinity last month I had a sliced citrus starter with a thin sauce drizzled on top. Does anyone have any idea what was in the sauce & how to make it? Thanks :)

We had this delivered to our stateroom the 2ne week instead of the stale canapes. I made such a fuss about what a great chef he was, that I got the recipe & do it at home:

 

Avocado and Citrus Starter recipe

 

ingredients

 

finely grated rind and juice of 1 lime

1 tsp (5 ml) clear honey

2.5 ml (1/2 tsp) Dijon mustard

salt and pepper, to taste

3 tbsp (60 ml) olive oil

1 large grapefruit, peeled and segmented

2 large tangerines, peeled and segmented

1 large avocado, peeled, stoned (seeded) and thinly sliced

2 oz (50 g) strawberries, hulled and thinly sliced

lime twists, to garnish

 

 

 

 

method

 

1. To make the dressing, put the lime rind and juice, honey, mustard and seasoning in a bowl and whisk together.

 

2. Gradually whisk in the olive oil.

 

3. Arrange the grapefruit, tangerines, avocado and strawberries on 4 plates.

 

4. Spoon over the dressing, garnish with lime twists and serve immediately.

It is important to remove all the white pith from the grapefruit and the tangerine as it is very bitter.

 

serving amount 4

 

 

ENJOY!

Thanks! :) You guys are always so helpful. Now, if I can just figure out how to prepare this for 150 people. :eek: I was thinking of serving this as the starter for my nieces NYE wedding. Living in Florida, I have easy access to plenty fresh citrus that time of year. I'll probably have to substitute the strawberries for another fruit though.
