Salad Ingredients
- 3 ripe tomatoes
- A generous handful of baby greens (including sprouts)

Kumquat Dressing
- About 10 kumquats
- 100ml orange juice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- About 10 kumquats
- 100ml orange juice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Wash the tomatoes thoroughly under running water. Cut them into bite-sized pieces, ensuring they are not too large or too small so they blend well with the dressing.
Step 2
Slice the half onion thinly. Soak the slices in cold water for about 5 minutes to mellow out their strong flavor. Drain them well and pat dry with paper towels to maintain their crispness.
Step 3
Harvest fresh sprouts or baby greens from your garden, or use a store-bought salad mix. Make sure to wash them gently and drain them completely to prevent a watery salad.
Step 4
Now, let’s prepare the delicious kumquat dressing! In a blender, combine about 10 kumquats (washed and stemmed), 100ml of orange juice, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and 3 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice. Blend until smooth and well combined, creating a vibrant and fragrant dressing. In a large bowl, place the prepared tomatoes and drained onion. Add about two-thirds of the kumquat dressing and toss gently to coat. You can adjust the amount of dressing to your preference. Arrange the dressed tomatoes and onion on a serving plate. Finally, top with the fresh baby greens and drizzle with the remaining dressing. Your nutritious and flavorful Tomato Kumquat Dressing Salad is now ready to be enjoyed!
