ingredients
-
For the salad
- 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)
-
For the dressing
- 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
directions
- 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.
