SICILIAN-STYLE CITRUS SALAD



Sicilian-Style Citrus Salad image

Winter is the season when many kinds of citrus fruits suddenly appear. For this savory fruit salad, a mixture of navel, blood and Cara Cara oranges and a small grapefruit make a colorful display. It's fine to use just one kind of orange, blood oranges being the classic example. Thinly sliced fennel, celery and red onion add a tasty bit of crunch. The salad is dressed assertively with oil and vinegar, and scattered with olives and flaky sea salt.

Time 30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 to 4 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons sherry vinegar or red wine vinegar
Salt and pepper
2 navel oranges
4 blood oranges
2 Cara Cara oranges
1 small grapefruit
1 small red onion, very thinly sliced
1 small fennel bulb, very thinly sliced, enough to make 1 cup
2 or 3 tender inside celery stalks, thinly sliced at an angle
Handful of olives, black oil cured type or green Castelvetrano type, pitted
Winter salad leaves, such as radicchio or escarole, optional
Large pinch of flaky sea salt

Steps:

  • Make the vinaigrette: Whisk together olive oil and vinegar in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper and set aside. It should be tart but not over-vinegary. Taste and add a little more olive oil if necessary.
  • To peel the citrus fruit, use a small serrated knife. First, cut off a thin slice of peel from the top and bottom of the orange, so it can sit flat and securely on the cutting board. Use a sawing motion to take off the peel, cutting from top to bottom, following the curve of the fruit. Remove only the peel and white pith, not the flesh of the orange. It should now be perfectly spherical and naked. Peel remaining oranges and grapefruit in this fashion.
  • Carefully slice peeled citrus crosswise. Arrange slices on a large serving platter in a random pattern, letting them overlap a bit here and there. Scatter onion, fennel and celery over top. Dot the surface with olives. Surround with salad leaves, if using.
  • Whisk vinaigrette, and spoon evenly over the salad. Sprinkle lightly with flaky salt and serve.

7 WAYS TO USE CARA CARA ORANGES IN THE KITCHEN

From food52.com
Author Max Rappaport
  • Infuse Extra-Virgin Olive Oil. Infused olive oil is so simple to make and so rewarding. Just combine Cara Cara orange peels (don't toss 'em!) and extra-virgin olive oil in a saucepan and place over medium heat for 10 minutes.
  • Create Your Own Homemade Orange Extract. Imagine baking Carolina Gelen’s Orange-Cardamom Olive Oil Cake with fresh California Cara Caras and a splash of homemade orange extract (preview: it’s an absolute game-changer).
  • Make a Batch of Oleo Saccharum. Combine leftover orange peels and sugar to make oleo saccharum—a syrup made of citrus peels and sugar that’s perfect for mixing into cocktails, whisking into fresh salad vinaigrettes, spooning over ice cream, and more.
  • Preserve Them in Salt. Preserved lemons get all the love, but most citrus can be packed in salt and cured—and California Cara Cara oranges are no exception.
  • Candy The Orange Peels (Please Also Dip Them in Dark Chocolate) One of my most vivid food memories as a kid is eating candied orange peels by the handful in Paris, enamored with how much better they were than the orange-flavored chocolate I was used to.
  • Whip Up a Homemade Cleaning Solution. Want to enjoy that fresh, citrus-y scent throughout the whole house? This homemade cleaner is just the thing, and also happens to be kid-safe.
  • Make a Refreshing Body Scrub. Okay, it’s spa time: Make an aromatic body scrub with grated orange peel, sugar, and coconut oil all mixed together. You can also add a dash of homemade orange extract or orange essential oil.
