Categories     appetizer

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 blood oranges
1 ruby red grapefruit
1/2 small red onion, julienned
1 Thai bird's eye chile, thinly sliced
Kosher salt
1 tablespoon high-quality extra-virgin olive oil
3 sprigs fresh mint, cut into a chiffonade

Steps:

  • Over a small bowl, supreme the blood oranges: Start by removing the top and bottom of the oranges, then place one of the flat ends of the orange on your cutting board and cut the skin off the outside while preserving the round shape. Be sure to remove all of the white pith. Pick the orange up and cut each section out of the orange in between the membranes. You will have lovely tender sections of the orange without any of the white membranes. You will be left with a "skeleton" of the orange. Squeeze the remaining juice out of the skeleton into the bowl. Repeat with the grapefruit and halve the segments.
  • Toss the onions and chile into the bowl with the fruit and juice and season with a pinch of salt and the olive oil. Let sit for at least 20 to 30 minutes. Stir in the mint right before serving.

ORANGE AND RED ONION SALAD



Orange and Red Onion Salad image

It's true-orange and onion really does sound like an unusual combination. But when my husband tasted Orange and Red Onion Salad for the first time, he told me, "This one's worth at least three kisses!" I serve this salad with chicken...it likely would go well with fish, too. Up until a short time ago, we lived in the San Joaquin Valley, where almonds, peaches and other crops thrive. Now-along with our 17-year-old son and 12-year-old daughter-we're settling into our new home in the foothills and getting used to seeing row crops and dairy cows instead.

ORANGE AND RED ONION SALAD



Orange and Red Onion Salad image

In Sicily, citrus fruits (agrumi) are enjoyed as a savory as well as a sweet, usually served between courses or at the end of a meal. A salad-called pirettu-is made from thick-skinned citrons (cedri). The green rind is peeled off, the center pulp is discarded, and the pith is sliced and dressed with salt, pepper, oil, and a pinch of sugar. Since fresh citrons are hard to find in America, here's another citrus salad popular in Sicily, especially in the winter months, when oranges are at their best. Customarily it is made with blood oranges-sanguine or tarocchi-and that's the way I like it best, though any small, juicy oranges will be delicious. Serve this in the Sicilian style, laying the rounds of orange and rings of red onion artfully on a platter with the dressing drizzled over, rather than tossing everything together. It is great as an appetizer, a refreshing end-of-the-meal salad, or an accompaniment to boiled or grilled meats.

Yield serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 6

8 or more small blood oranges or other oranges
1 medium red onion
1/2 teaspoon coarse sea salt or kosher salt, or to taste
Coarsely ground black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons best-quality extra-virgin olive oil, or to taste
1 tablespoon chopped fresh Italian parsley

Steps:

  • With a sharp thin-bladed knife, shave off the peel and pith of each orange completely, exposing the flesh of the fruit. Slice the oranges into rounds about 1/3 inch thick (you'll have about 4 cups of slices in all). Handle them gently so they remain intact.
  • Peel the onion, and slice it into very thin rounds (about 1 1/2 cups in all).
  • Lay out the orange rounds on a serving platter prettily (I pile up all the broken pieces in the center, making a colorful mound). Separate the onion rings, and scatter all over the oranges.
  • Sprinkle the salt over the top. Grind lots of coarse pepper over the top. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of your best olive oil all over the top. Shower the parsley over all. And serve!

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.

Categories     Citrus

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.

Tips:

  • For a sweeter salad, use a sweeter variety of orange, such as a Valencia or Cara Cara orange.
  • If you don't have any red onion on hand, you can use white or yellow onion instead. Just be sure to slice it thinly so that it's not too overpowering.
  • To make the salad ahead of time, simply combine the oranges, onions, and olives in a bowl and dress with the vinaigrette. Cover and refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving.

Conclusion:

This red onion and orange salad is a refreshing and flavorful side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a healthy and delicious salad, give this one a try!
