Citrus Salad With Arugula And Ricotta Salata
- 1/2 small red onion, halved and thinly sliced into half-moons
- 1/4 cup white balsamic vinegar, divided
- 2 Blood oranges
- 1 cara cara orange
- 1 navel orange
- 3 packed cups baby arugula
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- Fine sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons roughly chopped fresh mint leaves
- 2 tablespoons roughly chopped, roasted, salted pistachios
- 2 tablespoons crumbled ricotta salata
- Place the onion and 3 tablespoons of the white balsamic vinegar in a small bowl and let sit for at least 15 minutes and up to 3 hours.
- Drain the onions and set them aside; discard the vinegar.
- Using a sharp knife, cut the ends off each orange so they can sit flat on a cutting board.
- With smooth, downward strokes, cut the skin off 1 orange in sections you want to remove the white pith and see the orange flesh beneath.
- Repeat with the remaining oranges.
- Turn each orange on its side and cut crosswise into thin round slices.
- Place the arugula in a medium bowl.
- Pour the remaining 1 tablespoon vinegar into a small bowl.
- Add the olive oil in a slow, steady stream, whisking constantly.
- Drizzle over the arugula, season to taste with salt and pepper, and toss to combine.
- Arrange the orange slices in alternating colors on a large plate or platter.
- Sprinkle with mint, pistachios, and the marinated red onions.
- Pile the arugula in the center of the oranges and sprinkle with ricotta salata.
- Serve immediately.
