The only written recipe for an orange-and-onion salad I have ever seen
was in a cookbook by James Beard. I believe it is of vaguely Spanish
origin, but I have no reason to believe it comes from a period source.
Without having Beard's recipe in front of me, I'd say about six seedless
oranges, peeled with a knife into "supremes" or skinless segments, and
one large red onion, sliced thinly into fans, tossed in a vinaigrette of
1 1/2 Tbs good red wine vinegar, 4 1/2 Tbs extra-virgin olive or
hazelnut oil, with 1/4 tsp. each of salt and fresh black pepper, and
topped with 2 Tbs finely chopped fresh flat parsley, should do the
trick. Toasted alomonds are a nice addition, too.
