Course 1: The “Zest & Earth” Roasted Beet Salad
This dish uses the sweetness of the Fuji apples and mango to balance the deep, earthy flavor of the red beets.
Ingredients
- Produce: Red Beets, Lettuce Mix, 1 Fuji Apple, 1/2 Mango, handful of Raspberries.
- Dressing: 2 tbsp Grapefruit juice (fresh squeezed), 3 tbsp Olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Instructions
- Roast the Beets: Scrub the red beets, wrap them in foil with a drizzle of oil, and roast at 200°C for 45–60 minutes until tender. Once cool, peel and dice.
- Prep the Fruit: Thinly slice the Fuji apple and dice the mango.
- Assemble: Lay down a bed of the lettuce mix. Top with the roasted beets, apple slices, and mango.
- The Vinaigrette: Whisk the grapefruit juice with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Drizzle over the salad.
- Finish: Gently scatter the raspberries on top (so they don’t crush) for a final pop of tartness.
Course 2: Sweet & Savory Leek and Bok Choy Stir-Fry
The leeks and celery provide a savory base, while the bok choy adds crunch. Using fruit in the stir-fry adds a professional, “sweet-and-sour” depth.
Ingredients
- Produce: Leeks, Bok Choy, Celery, 1/2 Mango (diced), 1/2 Fuji Apple (matchstick cut).
- Pantry: Soy sauce (or salt), Ginger (optional), Oil for sautéing.
Instructions
- Prep the Veggies: Clean the leeks thoroughly and slice the white and light green parts. Chop the celery on a bias and separate the bok choy leaves from the stems (slice the stems thinly).
- Sauté: Heat oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add the leeks and celery. Cook for 3–4 minutes until the leeks are soft and fragrant.
- The Greens: Toss in the bok choy stems first for 2 minutes, then add the leaves.
- The “Secret” Sweetness: Add the remaining mango and apple matchsticks. Stir-fry for just 1–2 minutes—you want the fruit to warm through and slightly caramelize without turning to mush.
- Season: Add a splash of soy sauce or a pinch of salt. The natural sugars from the fruit will glaze the bok choy beautifully.
A Tip for the Grapefruit
Since grapefruit can be quite bitter, use the remaining segments as a palate cleanser between courses, or peel them and toss them into the salad if you enjoy a sharper citrus punch.
