Ingredients
Scale:
- Ingredients by volume:
- 5 orange (preferably a variety of types - a couple each of cara cara, blood, and navel; tangerines/grapefruit also work.)
- 1 shallot (small)
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp red wine vinegar
- 1 tsp lime juice
- 0.5 tsp agave
- 0.25 tsp salt
- 1 pinch dried tarragon
- Ingredients by weight:
- 1200 g orange
- 60 g shallot
- 40 g olive oil
- 15 g red wine vinegar
- 6 g lime juice
- 3.4 g agave
- 1.5 g salt
- 0.01 g dried tarragon (easier to measure as a pinch than by weighing)
Instructions
- 1. Slices the oranges: remove the rind by slicing the ends off the orange, then slicing the rind off in segments. Cut the peeled fruit in quarters lengthwise, then slice approximately 1/4 of an inch thick.
- 2. Slice the shallots: peel the shallots, and slice into thin crescents, approximately 1/8 of an inch thick. Combine the sliced oranges and shallots.
- 3. Make the dressing: in a separate bowl combine the olive oil, red wine vinegar, lime juice, agave, salt, and tarragon. Whisk until emulsified, then drizzle over salad.
