ORANGE AND RED ONION SALAD
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, 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.
Tips:
Choose the right oranges. Select oranges that are heavy for their size, have smooth skin, and are free of blemishes. Avoid oranges that have green spots or soft spots.
Use a sharp knife. A sharp knife will help you get clean, even slices of oranges and onions.
Slice the oranges and onions thinly. This will help them absorb the dressing more easily.
Use a good quality olive oil. Extra virgin olive oil is the best choice for this salad.
Let the salad marinate for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve the salad chilled. This is a refreshing salad that is perfect for a summer meal.
Conclusion:
Red onion and orange salad is a delicious and healthy salad that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. So next time you are looking for a light and refreshing salad, give this one a try.
