Ingredients List
- 3 lg Navel oranges
- 2 lg Red onions, sliced
- 1 sm Turnip, julienned*
- 7 1/2 tb Olive oil
- 2 tb Balsamic vinegar
- Freshly ground pepper
- 2 tb Pine nuts
- 2 c Basil leaves
- Salt
Directions
Grate the zest from one of the oranges and place it in the bottom of a wide
salad bowl. Without peeling, slice all the oranges about 1/4 to 3/8 inch
thick. Squeeze the juice from the end slices into the bowl over the zest.
Remove any seeds, then remove the peel from each slice by laying it flat
and turning it as you take a series of straight downward cuts, leaving no
white pulp. Place the peeled slices in the bowl. Separate the onion slices
into rings and add to the bowl. In a small bowl, whisk together 7 tb. of
the olive oil, the vinegar, and some pepper. Pour this vinaigrette over the
onion and orange slices. Toss gently, being careful not to break up the
orange slices, until the oranges and onions are coated. Marinate for 30
minutes to 1 hour. Heat the remaining 1/2 tb. of oil in a skillet; brown
the pine nuts over medium heat until they are medium tan - don't allow them
to blacken. Wash and dry the basil. Chop the leaves if they are large;
leave them whole if they are small. Just before serving, add the basil and
pine nuts to the salad bowl, toss gently, and serve. Salt to taste.
