Another recipe I stumbled across & fell in love with on a search for something else. My recipe source is The New Enchanted Broccoli Forest by Mollie Katzen. Recipes w/10 min prep times always get my attention (esp ones w/flavor combos like this one!) & the serving method sounded like so much fun to do w/your family or at a dinner party w/friends. :-) Ingredients:
6 large oranges |
1 tablespoon honey |
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon |
1 lb mixed salad green (clean, dry & chill) |
1/2 small red onion (thinly sliced) |
10 radishes (thinly sliced) |
6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil |
salt (to taste) |
black pepper (to taste, freshly ground) |
1 cup walnuts (toasted & chopped) |
Directions:
1. Peel & section oranges using a sharp paring knife or serrated knife. (To do this, 1st cut off the polar ends of the peel & then slice the peel off the sides. W/a gentle sawing motion, cut in 1 side of the membrane & out the other, releasing ea orange section in a bowl. Squeeze all excess juice from the remaining membrane into the bowl as well & pick out seeds, if necessary.) Discard membrane.
2. Drizzle honey & sprinkle cinnamon into the orange slices. Stir gently to mix, cover & set aside till serving time.
3. Just b4 serving, toss greens in a lrg bowl w/onion, radishes & olive oil. Season to taste w/salt & freshly ground pepper.
4. TO SERVE: Bring orange sections, tossed greens & walnuts to the table in separate containers. Let ea person assemble his or her own salad by piling some greens on a plate, spooning over some oranges-au-jus & sprinkling a few walnuts on top.
