1 large bunch watercress
3 large handfuls red leaf lettuces
4 large navel oranges
1/2 fennel bulb
1/2 cup red onion, halved and very thinly sliced
1/2 cup Nicoise or Gaeta olives
Vinaigrette:
6 Tablespoons fruity olive oil
4 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
4 teaspoons red wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Wash
and dry the watercress and lettuces. Remove any tough stems. With
a sharp knife, cut off the ends of the oranges. Standing the oranges
upright, carefully follow the curve of the fruit and cut away the
peel and skin. Cut in half lengthwise and then cut each half into
thin slices. Remove the core from the fennel and shave it thinly
with the grain, using a very sharp knife.
Whisk
together the vinaigrette in a medium bowl. Arrange the oranges,
onions, olives, and fennel on a salad platter and cover with half
the vinaigrette. In a bowl, lightly toss the greens with the rest
of the vinaigrette and distribute the greens around the arrangement.
Serves 4.
