Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the onion, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper and set aside.
• Meanwhile, chop the endives in a cross-hatched fashion, beginning at the base and working to the point. Place the endive and watercress in a large bowl.

Steps:

• Peel and slice the onion (across the onion) with a knife or mandoline. Slice thickness may be paper thin to 1/4-inch thick based on preference.

• Place sliced onions in a glass jar, pour brine over the onions, seal and place in the refrigerator for minimum 30 minutes before eating. The onions may be stored in the refridgerator, sealed, up to several weeks.

• Stuff onion slices into a pint-size Mason jar. Pour some of the boiling water over the onions. Let rest for 10 seconds. Pour out water through a mesh strainer, keeping onions in the jar. Repeat twice more to cook onions slightly.

WATERCRESS, ORANGE AND RED ONION SALAD

Steps:

• Slice between the membranes of the orange segments. Remove the segments. Squeeze the juice from the membrane, and reserve.

• Combine the olive oil, vinegar, and orange juice in a jar with a tight-fitting lid; season with salt and pepper. Shake vigorously.
• Drain the watercress and onion. Combine them with the orange segments, and vinaigrette; toss well to evenly coat.

ROASTED ONION, ENDIVE AND ORANGE SALAD

Steps:

• You can omit the step of roasting the onion, but roasting brings out a sweetness that complements the orange and contrasts with the watercress and endive. Preheat oven to 400℉ (200℃) (200C). Cut onion in half and slice each half into 4 wedges. Separate wedges into individual pieces. In a bowl, toss onions with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Season with salt and pepper. Place on cookie sheet, bake for 20 minutes or until onion wedges are browned. Reserve. Clean stalks from watercress and toss leaves with onions. Slice Belgian endives into ½-inch slices and add to bowl. Wash and stem spinach. Dry well and tear into bite-sized pieces. Cut skin and white pith from oranges. Over a bowl, cut oranges into segments, reserving the juice that escapes. To make dressing, combine lemon juice with reserved orange juice, add Dijon mustard and wine vinegar, then whisk in olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Just before serving, toss lemon vinaigrette with onions, orange and vegetables.

• Peel the onions, cut them in half from top to bottom and finely slice into half-moon pieces. Put in a colander placed over a bowl and sprinkle with salt, lightly turning over the onion pieces with your hands so the surfaces are all covered. Set aside for an hour or so to brine.
• Meanwhile put the vinegar, 50ml/2fl oz water and the sugar in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer, stirring to help the sugar dissolve, and cook for a couple of minutes. Set aside.
