STRAWBERRY-MARMALADE SALAD

STRAWBERRY-MARMALADE SALAD

On this weekend’s GardenLife radio show (May 13, 2012) we talked with Sunset Magazine food editor Margo True about a simple, but beautiful and delicious salad recipe . Compliments of Margo and from the recently released, “Sunset Edible Garden Cookbook: Fresh, Healthy Cooking from the Garden,” here it is and hope you have a wonderful Mother’s Day. This would also be perfect for a summer salad:

INGREDIENTS:
4 navel oranges
2 pts. strawberries
1/2 cup orange marmalade
2 tbsp. fresh lemon juice

DIRECTIONS:
1. Cut off and discard ends from oranges using a sharp, serrated knife. Following the curve of the fuit, cut off the peel and outer membrane. Slice oranges crosswise into 1/8-in. thick-rounds.
2. Hull and slice strawberries; add to oranges.
3. Stir together marmalade and lemon juice in a small bowl. Add to fruit and mix gently to coat.
