Watercress Orange And Red Onion Salad Recipes

WATERCRESS, ORANGE AND RED ONION SALAD

Steps:

• Slice away the tops and bottoms of oranges. Cutting from top to bottom, following the curve of the orange, slice away the peel and white pith.
• Slice between the membranes of the orange segments. Remove the segments. Squeeze the juice from the membrane, and reserve.
• Wash watercress thoroughly in cold water. Thinly slice the onion half and soak it in cold water; a brief soaking removes harsh, bitter flavors.
