Recipe information

  • Yield

    Serves 2 generously

Ingredients

2 navel oranges
1 small garlic clove, chopped fine
2 teaspoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 small head frisée (French curly endive)
1 small bunch watercress
3 ounces jícama (about 1/4 small)

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    With sharp knife cut peel and pith from oranges and cut sections free from membranes. Before discarding membranes squeeze out juice to total 1/4 cup for vinaigrette.

    Step 2

    In a small bowl whisk together orange juice, garlic, soy sauce, and vinegar. Add oil in a stream, whisking until emulsified, and season with salt and pepper. Vinaigrette may be made 1 day ahead and chilled, covered.

    Step 3

    Discard any dark green outer leaves from frisée. Wash and dry inner leaves and tear into bite-size pieces. Discard course stems from watercress and wash and dry remainder. Peel jícama and cut into 2-by 1/8-inch sticks (you should have about 1 cup).

    Step 4

    In a large sealable plastic bag combine orange sections, frisée, watercress, and jícama. Salad may be prepared up to this point 1 day ahead and chilled in plastic bag.

    Step 5

    Just before serving, add vinaigrette to plastic bag and shake to combine.
