Here is a simple salad recipe that is delectable in its unique way. It has a blend of flavors that burst into every bite. You may use arugula instead of lettuce if you want to add some bitterness to the garlicky, sweet and tangy flavors. White onions are also great replacements to the red onions if you find the taste sharp or overpowering.

 

8 servings

Ingredients:

2 seedless oranges

1 head Boston lettuce, torn into small pieces

1 medium red onion, sliced thinly

1/4 cup seedless black olives, chopped

1/2 cup peanuts, crushed

2 garlic cloves, peeled

1/4 cup orange juice

1 1/2 tablespoons white wine vinegar

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1/2 teaspoons sugar

1/4 teaspoon prepared mustard

2 teaspoons orange peel, grated

2 teaspoons olive oil

 

Peel the oranges and section them to remove the membranes. Next, place the lettuce, oranges, olives and onions in a large salad bowl. After, combine the garlic, orange juice, white wine vinegar, lemon juice, sugar, mustard and olive oil in a food processor or blender. Blend it for 1-2 minutes or until the garlic has been broken down to bits. Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss. Sprinkle it with the crushed peanuts and grated orange peel. Serve chilled.
