Broccoli Sprout and Arugula Salad with Blackberries, Papaya, and Almonds
February, 2006

Serves 4 / The blackberry-citrus dressing unites sweet papaya with spicy arugula and broccoli sprouts. For a milder salad, substitute frisée or mesclun for some of the arugula.

1/4 cup fresh grapefruit juice
2 tablespoons all-fruit blackberry preserves
2 tablespoons flaxseed oil
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
Salt and pepper, to taste
4 ounces broccoli sprouts
6 cups baby arugula leaves (about 3 ounces)
1 cup cubed papaya
1/2 cup chopped almonds
1 cup fresh or frozen and thawed blackberries

1. In a small bowl, combine grapefruit juice, blackberry
preserves, flaxseed oil, and olive oil. Whisk together until well blended and slightly thickened. Season with salt and
pepper, and set aside.
2. In a large bowl, combine broccoli sprouts, arugula, papaya, and almonds; toss with just enough dressing to lightly coat. Refrigerate remaining dressing.
3. Divide greens among four serving plates. Top with blackberries and serve.
