4 steps

Ingredients

  • For the Salad
  • 2 cara cara oranges, peeled and supreme
  • 1/2 cup kalamata olives, drained, halved
  • 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 head Napa cabbage, finely shredded
  • For the Dressing
  • 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar (use a good Italian one if you can)
  • Juice of half a lemon (Meyer, if possible)
  • 1/4 cup feta cheese, roughly chopped
  • 3 or 4 fresh mint leaves, roughly chopped
  • 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • Sea or kosher salt and pepper to taste

Directions

  1. 1
    On my blog, I have what think is a fairly easy description (with photos) of how to supreme any citrus fruit: thesolitarycook http://wp.me/27pPl. Basically, you need to remove all the peel and white pith from the outside, then remove each segment, leaving behind all the membranes. Yes, it's worth the effort.
  2. 2
    Place all the salad ingredients in a salad bowl or large mixing bowl.
  3. 3
    You'll get the best blend on the dressing if you use a food processor or a blender. The cheese purees into a creamy emulsion with the olive oil, vinegar, and lemon juice. If you can't get Meyer lemons, by all means use an ordinary lemon, but add 1/2 teaspoon or so of honey because Meyer lemons have a touch of sweetness to them. Puree the first five ingredients, then season to taste with salt and pepper. Pour over the salad, then toss to blend.
  4. 4
    Divide between plates. Serve with some good crusty bread so none of the luscious dressing is left behind.
