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.

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.
