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:
- For the best flavor, use fresh oranges and olives. Clementines or tangerines can be substituted for oranges.
- If you don't have any navel oranges, you can use a different type of orange, such as a Valencia orange or a blood orange. Just be sure to adjust the amount of sugar you add to taste.
- If you don't have any fresh mint, you can use dried mint instead. Just be sure to use half the amount of dried mint as you would fresh mint.
- This salad can be served as a side dish or as a main course. If you're serving it as a main course, you can add some grilled chicken or fish to the salad.
- This salad is also a great way to use up leftover oranges and olives.
