Steps:
- Prepare the Boston lettuce by breaking all the leaves apart and washing thoroughly under cold running water. Boston lettuce can be sandy inside, so be sure that the leaves are well washed. Dry the lettuce and tear into bite-size pieces. Place in a bowl and cover with damp towels. Store in the refrigerator until ready to use.
- Prepare the oranges by peeling them and cutting into sections. More simply, slice the peeled oranges crosswise, then cut the slices in half.
- Add the oranges and onion to the bowl with the lettuce. Pour some Ginger Dressing over the salad and toss. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve immediately. Pass remaining dressing, if you like.

Tips:
- Choose the right lettuce. Boston lettuce is the classic choice for this salad, but you can also use other types of lettuce, such as romaine or butterhead. Just be sure to choose a lettuce that is crisp and has a mild flavor.
- Use a sharp knife to slice the onion. This will help to prevent the onion from tearing and will also make it easier to slice it thinly.
- Soak the onion in cold water for a few minutes before using. This will help to remove some of the sharpness of the onion.
- Use a light hand when dressing the salad. You don't want to overdress the salad, or it will become soggy. A simple vinaigrette made with olive oil, vinegar, and a touch of honey is a good choice.
- Serve the salad immediately. This salad is best when served fresh. If you need to make it ahead of time, store the lettuce and onion separately in the refrigerator and then assemble the salad just before serving.
Conclusion:
Boston lettuce and red onion salad is a simple but delicious salad that is perfect for any occasion. It is light, refreshing, and flavorful, and it can be made with just a few simple ingredients. Follow these tips to make the perfect Boston lettuce and red onion salad every time.
