Orange Black Olive Salad Food

ORANGE AND OLIVE SALAD

Steps:

• Grate the zest of 2 oranges. Mix it with the oil, vinegar and a bit of salt.
• Peel the remaining oranges, slice into thin disks (perpendicular to the segment seams) and spread out in a single layer on a large dish. Pour the dressing over them. Grind pepper until it covers them like a thin layer of sand. Leave for 2 hours or longer in a cool place.
• Separate the chicory or endive leaves, rinse and dry them. Tear them up, place in large salad bowl. Lift the oranges from the dressing and place atop the greens, breaking up the disks into quarters. Sprinkle the olives on top, then a bit of the dressing. Toss lightly, add more dressing to taste and serve immediately.

ORANGE SALAD WITH BLACK OLIVES

Steps:

• Slice 1/2-inch thick piece off the top and bottom of the oranges. Slice off the rind, including all of the bitter white pith.
• Now you have two options: either you fillet your oranges as in the original recipe or you slice them as on the picture. If you serve them as a starter or as a main dish, I find it nicer to slice them and arrange the slices on individual plates. If served as a side dish, it is probably more convenient to fillet the oranges (see introduction).
• If you choose to slice the peeled oranges, arrange the slices nicely on individual plates. If you choose to fillet the oranges, chop the fillets in 1 cm / 1/2 inch cubes.
• Pit the olives and either halve them or cut them into stripes (that's what I do). Arrange them on top of your sliced oranges or put them into a bowl and add your chopped oranges and olives.
• Mix all the ingredients for the dressing and drizzle the dressing over your sliced oranges or mix it carefully with the chopped ones.
• This salad should not be mixed in advance, as the olives will colour the oranges.

ORANGE & BLACK OLIVE SALAD

Steps:

• Peel the oranges, cut in slices, saving the juices that run out, if possible.
• Peel the onions and cut in slices.
• Arrange the oranges, onions and olives on a plate, cover and put in the fridge for about half an hour.
• Make the dressing by mixing the vinegar, orange and lemon juices, then slowly add the olive oil whilst mixing, then add the garlic, parsley and season to taste.
• Pour the dressing over the salad just before serving and last but not least the pine nuts.

ORANGE, RED ONION, AND BLACK OLIVE SALAD

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.

Steps:

• Cut the peel and pith from the oranges, then divide into segments (reserving any juice) leaving them whole or chopped as preferred.
• In a bowl mix with olives with the orange segments and juice, add the lemon juice, cumin, chilli powder, sugar and salt.
• Serve chilled.

BEET, ORANGE, AND BLACK OLIVE SALAD

Steps:

• Cover beets with cold water in a pot, bring to boil, cook 1 to 2 hours, depending upon size, until they are easily pierced by a knife or metal skewer. Let beets cool in the water, then drain them and peel them. Cut each beet into wedges about 1 inch wide and place them in a mixing bowl.
• Cut the oranges into supremes by cutting off the tops and bases, then cutting down the sides, following the natural curve, to remove the peel and pith. I find a boning knife works best for this. Over a small bowl, remove the segments by slicing between the membranes. Add the segments and any captured juice to the bowl of beet wedges.
• Coarsely chop the radicchio into one-inch pieces and add to the bowl of beets. Add remaining ingredients and toss. Taste, adjust seasoning, serve.

ORANGE AND OLIVE SALAD

Steps:

• With sharp knife, peel oranges, cutting off most, but not all, of white pith. Cut oranges in thin crosswise slices and arrange on a platter. Scatter the radishes, red onion and olives over oranges. Sprinkle with pepper.
• In small cup, mix oil, vinegar, salt and oregano with a fork. Spoon evenly over oranges. Cover with plastic wrap; let stand at least 15 minutes before serving.
