Moroccan Orange-Walnut Salad (Zwt II) image

Another recipe I stumbled across & fell in love with on a search for something else. My recipe source is "The New Enchanted Broccoli Forest" by Mollie Katzen. Recipes w/10 min prep times always get my attention (esp ones w/flavor combos like this one!) & the serving method sounded like so much fun to do w/your family or at a dinner party w/friends. :-)

W/a gentle sawing motion, cut in 1 side of the membrane & out the other, releasing ea orange section in a bowl. Squeeze all excess juice from the remaining membrane into the bowl as well & pick out seeds, if necessary.) Discard membrane.

  • TO SERVE: Bring orange sections, tossed greens & walnuts to the table in separate containers. Let ea person assemble his or her own salad by piling some greens on a plate, spooning over some oranges-au-jus & sprinkling a few walnuts on top.
