  1. California Salad Cups

    July 17, 2008 by Tarrant Figlio

    Another California recipe, another salad recipe. More grapefruit! In 1942 grapefruit and walnuts must have screamed California! I am amused that it is called salad cups, but served on plates.

    Less than 24 hours until Blogher Conference 08 in San Francisco.

    California Salad Cups

    1 cup diced, membrane-free grapefruit sections
    1 cup diced pineapple
    1 cup diced, membrane-free orange sections
    1 cup sliced banana
    1/2 cup broken walnut meats
    lettuce
    1 pkg. (3 oz.) cream cheese
    1 tbs. liquid honey
    1 tbs. lemon juice
    1/2 cup whipping cream
    4 walnut meat halves

    Combine grapefruit, pineapple, orange, and banana; drain. Add broken nut meats. Arrange lettuce on salad plates; fill with fruit mixture. Mash cream cheese; add honey and lemon juice. Whip cream slightly; add to cream cheese mixture. Mask fruit with cheese mixture. Garnish with nut meat halves. Serves 4.
