Melon Balls On Lettuce With California French Dressing Recipe
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1/2 c. Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1/2 tsp Pepper
- 1/4 c. Grapefruit juice
- 1/4 tsp Sugar
- 5 ounce Spring greens
- 2 c. Assorted melon balls, such as Cantaloupe and/or possibly honeydew and Watermelon
Directions
- Whisk together extra virgin olive oil, salt, pepper, grapefruit juice and sugar. Divide greens among 4 plates. Place melon balls on greens on each plate. Drizzle with dressing.
- Notes: "In the '30s, French dressing was not the pale orange mayonnaise-y mix we know today, but a simple vinaigrette. Make the vinaigrette with grapefruit juice and, voila, you have California French. Fusion cuisine of the '30s!"
