ORANGE, RED ONION, AND BLACK OLIVE SALAD



Orange, Red Onion, and Black Olive Salad image

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.

Time 20m

Yield 10-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/4 cup olive oil
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon grated orange zest
1 cup kalamata olives or 1 cup nicoise olive, pitted
1 medium red onion, thinly sliced
5 large navel oranges, peeled & sliced crosswise in 1/4-inch pieces
coarse ground salt & pepper
1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary

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



Spanish Charred Fennel, Orange and Olive Salad image

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.

OLIVE AND ORANGE SALAD



OLIVE AND ORANGE SALAD image

Categories     Fruit     Side     No-Cook     Passover     Quick & Easy     Kosher for Passover

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 oranges peeled and sliced horizontally
About 18 black olives, pitted and cut in half
Juice of 1 lemon
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 garlic clove, very finely chopped
1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh mint
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon paprika, plus 2 pinches for serving

Steps:

  • Put the oranges into a serving bowl. Scatter olives over them. Whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, mint, cumin and paprika. Pour dressing over the salad, sprinkling 2 pinches of paprika on top. Yield: 4 servings

Tips:

  • Choose the right oranges: Use navel oranges for a sweeter, less acidic flavor, or blood oranges for a more tart and tangy salad.
  • Segment the oranges properly: Cut off the top and bottom of the oranges, then score the peel from top to bottom. Use a sharp knife to cut along the score marks, removing the peel and pith in one piece. Slice the oranges into segments, working over a bowl to catch the juices.
  • Use good quality olives: Look for olives that are plump and have a deep, rich color. Avoid olives that are shriveled or have a dull appearance.
  • Dress the salad lightly: A simple vinaigrette or lemon-olive oil dressing is all you need to enhance the flavors of the oranges and olives.
  • Serve immediately: Orange and olive salad is best served immediately, as the oranges will start to lose their flavor and texture if they sit for too long.

Conclusion:

Orange and olive salad is a refreshing and flavorful side dish that is perfect for any occasion. With its bright citrus flavor and salty olives, this salad is sure to please everyone at your table. Whether you are looking for a light and healthy lunch option or a simple side dish to accompany your main course, this orange and olive salad is a great choice.
