Salad
Tip: For a quick and even dice of melon, use a food processor. It will save time compared to cutting by hand, and you’ll have perfectly sized melon pieces to complement your zucchini salad in seconds.
Tip: For a warm, grilled version of your zucchini, use a cast-iron skillet on the induction stove. The quick, even heat from the induction stove will allow you to grill zucchini in just 3-4 minutes per side, adding a smoky flavor to your salad in no time.
Use the air fryer to quickly make crispy toppings for your salad, such as roasted seeds or croutons. Set the air fryer to 375°F and cook for about 5-7 minutes for a crunchy texture that pairs beautifully with your fresh salad.
For the best flavor, use fresh, juicy oranges. Navel oranges are a popular choice, but you can also try blood oranges for a unique twist.
Pair the sweetness of oranges with tangy ingredients like goat cheese or balsamic vinegar for a perfect balance.
Add some crunch to your orange salad with ingredients like toasted nuts (almonds, walnuts), seeds, or crispy croutons.
Fresh herbs like mint or basil can add a refreshing and fragrant element to your salad.
A light drizzle of olive oil, a pinch of salt, and a dash of black pepper can enhance the flavors of your salad.
Experiment with adding other fruits like berries, pomegranate seeds, or avocado to make your orange salad more diverse and colorful.
