Watercress, Orange And Red Onion Salad

1. 1

   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.

2. 2

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

3. 3

   Wash watercress thoroughly in cold water. Thinly slice the onion half and soak it in cold water; a brief soaking removes harsh, bitter flavors.

4. 4

   Combine the olive oil, vinegar, and orange juice in a jar with a tight-fitting lid; season with salt and pepper. Shake vigorously.

5. 5

   Drain the watercress and onion. Combine them with the orange segments, and vinaigrette; toss well to evenly coat.

6. 6

   Divide among salad plates and serve.
