BLOOD ORANGE SALAD
This is a salad created to really let blood oranges shine, both visually and flavour wise. Fennel is lightly dressed with just vinegar and olive oil because the idea here is that the juice from the blood oranges acts like a dressing. I couldn't resist using some of the vibrant ruby red juice to make a small amount of Blood Orange Dressing which I drizzle over just before serving. It looks great, and adds extra flavour!I also like that this salad requires very little salt - the natural sweetness from the oranges carries it.

Steps:
- Lightly pickle onion: Mix sugar and vinegar, then add onion and set aside for 15 minutes to lightly pickle (vinegar should just about cover onion). Drain, reserve pickling vinegar.
- Slice oranges, reserve juice: Cut rind from oranges, then slice into rounds. Reserve all juice on cutting board - you want around 2 teaspoons (if you're short, sacrifice a slice or two).
- Blood Orange Drizzle Dressing: Measure out 2 tsp pickling vinegar, shake/whisk with the reserved 2 tsp juice, 2 tbsp EVOO with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Lightly dress fennel: Toss fennel in 1 tbsp onion pickling juice, remaining 2 tbsp olive oil, 1/4 tsp salt and 1/8 tsp pepper.
- Assembling: Place 1/2 orange rounds on plate. Pile over 2/3 the fennel, litter with onion, parsley, place half remaining orange slices on top. Top with remaining fennel, oranges then onion. Sprinkle with parsley leaves. Just before serving, drizzle over the Blood Orange Dressing, mainly on the oranges so it doesn't stain the fennel too much. Serve immediately!

SICILIAN-STYLE CITRUS SALAD
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.

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.

SICILIAN-INSPIRED BLOOD ORANGE SALAD FOR 2
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.
