Notes

Notes
For a better orange salad recipe, follow
these rules: for bold flavor, include lime juice in the dressing;
allow the oranges to drain before tossing them with the other
ingredients to eliminate excess juice; use just a small amount
of greens; and toss the salad very gently to prevent the greens
from bruising and the orange pieces from falling apart.
Technique Tips Cutting Oranges
1. Cut thin slice from top and bottom,
stand on end, and slice away rind and
white pith.
2. Cut in half
from end to end, remove stringy pith,
cut each half into three wedges, and
cut crosswise into 1/4-inch pieces.
