The juices from the supremed oranges basically create the dressing for this salad that will compliment almost any meal! Ingredients:
1/2 large red onion |
3 medium juice oranges |
3 small blood oranges |
3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil |
1 splash red wine vinegar |
salt and pepper to taste |
1 bag mixed baby greens |
Directions:
1. Thinly slice onion. Place in bottom of a large salad bowl.
2. With a paring knife, cut off peel and white pith of oranges. Over the salad bowl, section the oranges by cutting the segments in between the membranes (this is called supreming). Squeeze the remains over the bowl.
3. Give two generous turns of olive oil over the bowl, about 3 tablespoons. Add a pinch of salt and several cranks of ground black pepper to taste. Add one splash of red wine vinegar to taste.
4. Toss everything together, taste dressing, and adjust salt, pepper, and vinegar to your preference. Let this onion and orange mixture sit until ready to serve. The longer the onions sit in the orange juice, the more mellow they become.
5. Place the mixed baby greens on top of the onions and oranges, and toss to evenly coat with the dressing.
