ORANGE, RED ONION, AND BLACK OLIVE SALAD
I love the combination of flavors of the beautiful simple salad. This is a recipe from Mary Englbreit's Home Companion magazine about 5 years ago. It is a great compliment to roasted fowl or pork. Everything can be prepared before hand and put together up to 2 hours before serving and refrigerated. I took this to a work Thanksgiving potluck once and it got a great response. I lost the recipe shortly afterwards only to find it recently. I will be making it again.

Steps:
- Whisk olive oil, lemon juice, and orange zest in a small bowl until well combined. Add olives set aside for at least one hour.
- To take some of the bite out of the onions drop the slices in boiling water for about 4 minutes. Drain and refresh in ice water, and drain well again. OR my best result is to prepare the dressing, add olives and onions and marinate for at least four hours or overnight.
- Layer oranges and onions on a serving plate. Drizzle layers with olives and dressing. Top with a little sprinkle of salt, a few grindings of fresh pepper, and the rosemary.
- Preparation time does not include marinating time.
SPANISH CHARRED FENNEL, ORANGE AND OLIVE SALAD
This is one of my favourite Summer salad recipes.....the vibrant colours are amazing, as are all the mingling flavours! The baby fennel bulbs are roasted until charred and then simply served with fresh oranges, black olives, red onion, fresh mint and a divine orange vinaigrette! I serve this alongside grilled, roast or barbequed Duck or Lamb - it is also great when served with a good grilled Steak.

Tips:
- Choose the right oranges: Use navel or blood oranges for a sweeter flavor, or a mix of both for a more complex taste.
- Use high-quality olive oil: Extra virgin olive oil will give your salad the best flavor.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When searing the oranges, make sure to give them enough space so that they can brown properly.
- Be careful not to overcook the oranges: They should be slightly caramelized but still have a bit of a bite to them.
- Use a variety of greens: A mix of bitter and mild greens will add complexity and depth to your salad.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different ingredients: You can add other fruits, vegetables, nuts, or seeds to create a unique and delicious salad.
