In winter months, I love to use all the fresh citrus fruits available in the market. Blood orange is a favorite of mine for their nice acidity and dramatic color. The ricotta salata adds a great saltiness that helps balance out the blood orange and Balsamic.
Pairs well with a light, crisp white, like Sancerre or Pinot Grigio.
INGREDIENTS
For the dressing:
- Zest of 1 blood orange
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons blood orange juice
- 6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- Pinch of kosher salt
- 1-2 turns of freshly ground black pepper
For the salad:
- 4-6 cups fresh mâche, also known as lamb’s lettuce
- 2 blood oranges, segmented and any pits removed
- Ricotta salata, for garnish
DIRECTIONS
For the dressing:
Combine all ingredients in a small bowl, gently whisking to combine.
For the salad:
Place the greens in a large bowl. Drizzle vinaigrette around the edge, 1 tablespoon at a time, until it’s dressed to your taste. Gently toss with your hands, taking care to not over-dress or crush the leaves.
Grate ricotta salata on top, and garnish with blood orange segments.
