As you know, a fresh and tasty winter salad can be prepared with citrus fruits. If you want, you can replace cheese with rocket and season with oil, orange and lemon juice. Also fennels can be added. So you can create other perfect recipes. I suggest you to taste this salad with slices of bread with olives or simple croutons as well. Nothing tastes better than a fresh, healthy and tasty salad!
Serves: 4
- 4 Ribera oranges in the varieties Brazilian
- 1 lemon
- 2 spring onions
- 80 grams of Sicilian Primo Sale cheese
- extra virgin olive oil
- salt to taste
- freshly ground white pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon of honey
- 100 ml oranges juice
- aromatic herbs (thyme, mint)
Method
Peel and wash spring onions. Cut into thin slices and soak in water and ice (in this way they will become very crunchy). Peel citrus fruits and cut into not too thin slices. Set them aside. Pour the honey and the citrus juice in a saucepan. Heat until the ingredients are mixed. You can reduce the sauce adding starch or, if you prefer, leave it liquid.Let it cold. Drain the spring onion slices and dry them with a cloth. Set aside.
Dice the cheese or crumble it. Place slices of orange and lemon on a plate, put the spring onion and little cubes of Primo Sale cheese. Then season with some of citrus juice and extra virgin olive oil. Salt and pepper. Garnish with the aromatic herbs.
