Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Begin by preparing all your salad components. I’ve opted for dried strawberries, but feel free to use fresh strawberries, raspberries, or any seasonal berries you prefer! Peel the mandarin oranges and separate them into segments. You can also add nuts or cheese for extra texture and flavor.
Step 2
Wash the salad greens thoroughly under cold running water. It’s crucial to drain them well; excess water can dilute the dressing. Gently pat them dry with paper towels or use a salad spinner to ensure they are completely dry.
Step 3
Now, let’s whip up the delightful Yuzu dressing. In a small bowl, combine the yuzu marmalade (2 Tbsp), soy sauce (1 Tbsp), lemon juice (2 Tbsp), and olive oil (1 Tbsp).
Step 4
Whisk everything together with a fork or a small whisk until well combined. Ensure the yuzu marmalade is fully incorporated and the dressing has a smooth, emulsified consistency. Taste and adjust the sweetness or tanginess to your preference.
Step 5
Time to assemble your beautiful Wreath Salad! Place a small bowl (like a rice bowl or soup bowl) upside down in the center of your serving plate. Arrange the dried greens in a circular pattern around the bowl, creating a wreath shape. Then, artfully place dollops of Greek yogurt and the prepared fruit segments over the greens. Drizzle the Yuzu dressing evenly over the salad. For a final touch of winter magic, lightly dust with powdered sugar, like fresh snow. Carefully lift the central bowl to reveal your stunning Wreath Salad!
