Citrus Salad
- 2 large oranges
- 2 grapefruits
- 1 large or 2 small fennel bulbs, trimmed and thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup packed fresh basil leaves
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1/3 cup chopped walnuts, toasted
- Peel and trim the ends from the oranges and grapefruits with a sharp knife.
- Place a sieve over a medium bowl.
- Hold an orange over the bowl and, using a paring knife, cut along the membrane on both sides of each segment.
- Free the segments and let them fall into the sieve.
- Repeat with the remaining orange and the grapefruits.
- Squeeze the membranes over the bowl to extract as much juice as possible, reserving the juices in the bottom of the bowl.
- Place the citrus segments and fennel in a salad bowl.
- In a blender or the bowl of a small food processor, blend together the oil, basil, and 3 tablespoons of the reserved juice until smooth.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Pour over the fruit and fennel.
- Add the chopped walnuts and toss until all the ingredients are coated.
