Orange Salad With Black Olives Recipes

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.

REMOJON GRANADINO / GRANADIAN COD AND ORANGE SALAD WITH BLACK OLIVES

Steps:

• Boil the potatoes with their skin on. Remove the potatoes from the heat after 15 to 20 minutes, or when ready (for this salad, the potatoes should be almost fully cooked through but still very slightly undercooked in the center). Cool. Then, peel and cut into small dice.
• Lightly salt and sear the cod on all sides in a hot pan until you get a nice toasted brown crust on all sides, and it just cooks through (approximately 2 minutes on each side).Then flake the cod and set aside.
• Peel the oranges, remove the segments (without the membranes), reserve 16 segments whole and roughly chop the rest into chunky pieces.
• Finely chop the onion.
• Remove the seeds from the tomatoes and chop them as finely as possible.
• In a bowl, combine the diced potatoes, flaked cod, chopped onion, chopped orange pieces and chopped tomatoes. Dress the ingredients right in the bowl, with the chopped olives, olive oil, white wine vinegar, Espelette pepper and 1 to 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, or to taste. Fold together the ingredients to incorporate all the flavors well and chill for at least an hour.
• To serve, place individual cylinder molds in the center of each plate. Lightly pack the cod salad into molds. Place 4 reserved whole orange segments on top of each cod salad and tumble over about a dozen pomegranate seeds. Unmold the salads and serve chilled.

ORANGE AND GRAPEFRUIT SALAD WITH CORIANDER AND BLACK OLIVES

Steps:

• Peel and segment the citrus. Using a paring knife, slice a thin slice off the top and the bottom of the fruit, so that it has a stable base. Then, start to slice off the peel in strips, moving your knife from top to bottom, following the natural curve of the fruit. Repeat, moving around the perimeter of the fruit, until there's no more peel and the flesh is visable.
• To remove the segments, hold the fruit in the palm of your hand and then slice between the membranes toward the center of the fruit to release a pretty little segment of citrus. Repeat for each fruit.
• Arrange the orange and grapefruit segments in a shallow dish. Sprinkle the olives over the fruit. Drizzle the oil over the citrus segments and sprinkle with the coriander, salt and pepper. Serve.

FENNEL AND ORANGE SALAD WITH BLACK OLIVES ON A BED OF COUSCOUS

Steps:

• Reconstitute the couscous. Place it in a bowl, add salt to taste and cover by 1/2 inch with hot water. Let sit until all of the water has been absorbed by the couscous, stirring every once in a while. Cover the bowl with a plate and place in the microwave. Microwave for 3 minutes. Carefully remove from the microwave (the bowl will be hot). Uncover and fluff with forks. Set aside.
• In a small bowl or measuring cup, whisk together the ingredients for the dressing.
• Remove tough outer layers of the fennel bulb and discard. Using a sharp knife or a mandolin, slice the fennel quarters as thin as you can. Place in a bowl and toss with half the dressing and the chopped olives.
• Spoon the couscous into a wide bowl or onto a platter and smooth to make an even layer. Arrange the fennel on top, making sure to tip out any dressing from the bottom of the bowl over the fennel and couscous.
• Cut away the peel and pith from the oranges and slice into thin rounds. Tip any juice that runs out of the oranges as you are working with them over the fennel. Arrange the orange slices over the fennel.
• Drizzle the remaining dressing over the oranges. Arrange the halved olives on top, sprinkle with chopped parsley or fennel fronds and serve, or refrigerate until ready to serve.

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.
