Tips:
- Use Fresh Ingredients: For the best flavor, use fresh oranges and grapes. Choose oranges that are heavy for their size and have smooth, unblemished skin. Select grapes that are plump and free of blemishes.
- Segment the Oranges Properly: To avoid bitterness, carefully segment the oranges. Use a sharp knife to cut off the top and bottom of the orange, then score the peel around the circumference of the fruit. Peel off the skin in sections, then use your fingers to remove the segments from the membranes.
- Halve the Grapes: Halving the grapes makes them easier to eat and helps them absorb the dressing better. Cut each grape in half lengthwise.
- Make the Vinaigrette in Advance: The vinaigrette can be made up to 24 hours in advance. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
- Chill the Salad Before Serving: Chilling the salad for at least 30 minutes before serving helps the flavors to meld and the salad to become more refreshing.
