Food Recipes Every-Citrus Salad With Almonds and Manchego Be the first to rate & review! Tart blood oranges, bitter grapefruit, and sweet navel oranges come together in this gorgeous recipe, perfect for celebrating in-season citrus. It’s worthy of special occasions, but easy enough to throw together last-minute. The orange dressing is delicious and original, too, thanks to a combination of shallots, maple syrup, and Dijon mustard. (Think of it as honey mustard’s cool older sister.) The salad is studded with flavorful additions like parsley, Manchego, and roasted almonds and the result is a dish that hits every note—crunchy, salty, nutty, bright, sharp, and bitter. Add grilled chicken to make it a complete meal, or serve alongside a large pork roast or side of salmon for an easy, elegant dinner.
