SICILIAN-INSPIRED BLOOD ORANGE SALAD FOR 2



Sicilian-Inspired Blood Orange Salad for 2 image

Tinkered and rearranged from a recipe found on apartmenttherapy.com. I also toyed with the thought of roasting the oranges (or {pan} grilling} and red onions but alas ran out of time, my fine foodie friends! Enjoying the seasonal specialty oranges available at the store *while I still have time*! PS I toasted the pistachios with the cumin seeds.

Time 18m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 -3 cups mixed greens (or any seasonal greens)
2 -3 blood oranges, peeled and cut into segments
1/2 small red onion, cut as thinly as possible
2 -3 tablespoons of fresh mint, julienned and a few leaves torn
1/4 cup pecorino romano cheese (originally the cheese called for was feta but I subbed pecorino romano)
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar (I think dark balsamic would be good, too!)
1 -2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon cumin seed
2 tablespoons pistachios, lightly crushed
salt and pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Place the orange segments in a large non-reactive bowl and stir in onions. Set aside.
  • In a small skillet, heat the olive oil on medium.
  • Add the cumin seeds and cook until the cumin seeds pop slightly and a lovely fragrance emits from the pan. Lower the heat if the seeds appear to be cooking too quickly.
  • Add vinegar to the pan and swirl to mix. Season with salt and pepper and toss all over the citrus and greens.
  • When plating, add mint and pistachios to the tops of each portion.
