- Hey everybody, it's Bobby here,
0:02
making another summertime wonderful simple recipe.
0:06
A beautiful arugula salad
0:08
with some of my favorite flavor profiles.
0:11
I love grapefruit, so I've got some red grapefruit here.
0:14
Got some orange and avocado
0:18
and some lemon juice as a little preservative.
0:20
Show you a little tip or trick
0:22
that maybe you don't already know.
0:23
And one of my mamas really,
0:25
my favorite dressing that she does,
0:27
a Vidalia onion poppy seed dressing,
0:30
the Paula Deen brand, so you know it's good.
0:35
All right, here we go.
0:36
We're starting with just a bowl of arugula.
0:41
And we'll go ahead and cut our avocado.
0:45
We eat, we, my family and I, eat lots of avocados.
0:53
Hard to get good avocados down here though.
0:55
If you've ever been to California,
0:57
then you really know what a good avocado is like.
1:00
So it's a little bit hit or miss down here,
1:02
but I've got a couple that I think are gonna be nice.
1:07
Be careful when you're doing this.
1:11
I've got a couple of doctor friends that's,
1:14
oh, this is beautiful too.
1:15
Yeah, that's a hit right there.
1:18
Got a couple of, or I've got one doctor friend
1:20
that's like we call it avocado hand in the ER.
1:24
(laughs) So when you go to remove
1:25
the seed from the avocado,
1:27
make sure that you're careful doing that.
1:30
We're gonna slice our avocado
1:34
and I like to do it inside of the shell here.
1:39
So just run my knife through
1:44
and then when we spoon it out,
1:46
you'll have some nice slices already there.
1:54
Yeah, that's a pretty avocado.
1:58
So look, it comes out and it's already sliced.
2:04
And the other half here.
2:08
I said that this is a summer salad and it really is.
2:10
These ingredients are, these are just screaming
2:14
spring and summer and, but I like a good salad
2:20
at any time of the year.
2:22
I could eat, I could eat salad every day.
2:27
All right, so our avocado's pretty,
2:28
but if you know avocados,
2:31
you know that they don't stay that way.
2:33
And lemon juice is a really great preservative for avocado.
2:38
This'll turn brown sitting out just in a couple of minutes.
2:42
So what I'm gonna do is just
2:44
drizzle a little bit of lemon juice on top
2:48
and now our avocados will be pretty
2:52
long enough to make a salad with it
2:54
and for us to eat 'em up.
2:58
And those slices came out beautifully
3:03
Okay, great, here we go.
3:05
So just gonna sort of place
3:08
some grapefruit in and around our arugula salad here.
3:12
And I'm not gonna toss this and mix it up.
3:16
I'm gonna just lay stuff on top
3:20
and it's gonna look really, really beautiful.
3:24
These oranges are pretty, the grapefruit is pretty.
3:29
It all looks super, super nice.
3:34
Some avocado slices right on top.
3:43
Your friends and family are gonna be
3:45
really, really happy with this.
3:47
And that little bit of citrus,
3:48
you know what I would do too?
3:50
And since this is for me and mine, I think I will do it.
3:55
I do this anyway at the house also.
3:58
I'm gonna just add a little bit of that lemon juice
4:04
and just give it a little bit of a,
4:08
a little bit of a bite,
4:09
a little bit of a hint of a bite there.
4:12
It's gonna be really, really good.
4:16
My mama's salad dressing.
4:22
Videlia onion poppy seed dressing.
4:23
That is some good stuff.
4:28
Just a little drizzle.
4:32
That is a beautiful, fresh looking salad.
4:39
Little bit of some coarse salt,
4:45
little bit of pepper.
4:47
And the hardest part is all the prep, you know?
4:51
Juicing those lemons,
4:52
cutting up the orange and the grapefruit.
4:56
But the end result is worth the trouble.
5:00
It's beautiful, picture worthy,
5:03
and your friends and family will love it, I promise.
