Sicilian orange salad
4 | oranges | 4 |
1 | bunch parsley | 1 |
1 | small leek | 1 |
for the dressing | ||
4 tbs | olive oil | 4 tbs |
juice of ½ lemon | ||
1 | clove garlic | 1 |
1 | pinch ground saffron | 1 |
salt, pepper | ||
8 | shelled walnuts | 8 |
Peel the oranges carefully, removing all the pith. Cut into thin slices, put a few slices aside for decoration. Cut the other slices into quarters. Wash the leek thoroughly, slice thinly and divide into rings. Add to the orange together with the chopped parsley.
Put a few nicely shaped walnut halves aside for decoration, and chop the remainder roughly. Add the crushed garlic and the other ingredients for the dressing.
Pour over the salad and toss lightly. Chill for about 10 minutes. Just before serving decorate the top with the orange slices, walnut halves, a few rings of leek and sprigs of parsley. The combination of orange and leek gives this salad a very special piquant flavour. It is delicious served with fish or fried meat.
II. Vegetable dishes:
Cauliflower, blueberry, glass, turnip, omelet, biscuit, radishes, compote, paper, carrots.

Carrot salad with onion
600 g | carrots | 1 Уг lb |
1 | large onion | 1 |
for the dressing | ||
2 tbs | salad oil | 2 tbs |
2 tbs | lemon juice | 2 tbs |

pepper |
Peel and wash the carrots and onion and grate. Mix the oil and lemon juice, season to taste with salt and pepper, then pour over the salad. Prepare the salad at least 1 hour before you plan toserve it, to allow the flavours to blend well together.
I recommend this salad in the winter months when there are perhaps fewer vegetables with high vitamin content. It will keep for days if stored in the refrigerator in a screw top jar.

Apple and red cabbage salad
400-500 g | red cabbage | appr. 1 lb |
2 | large apples | 2 |
for the dressing | ||
1 | clove garlic | 1 |
1 | small onion | 1 |
salt, pepper, | ||
ground caraway seeds | ||
1-2 tbs | salad oil | 1-2 tbs |

Wash the cabbage, remove the stalk and shred finely. Wash and peel the apples and grate coarsely. Sprinkle with lemon juice to prevent the apple from turning brown. Mix with the cabbage. Grate or chop the onion finely, crush the garlic and blend with the oil. Season to taste with salt, pepper and caraway. Add lemon juice with caution, as lemon has already been added to the apple. Toss into the salad, cover with a lid and chill for at least 1 hour.
The combination of cabbage and apple gives this salad its special flavour. It is particularly welcome in winter, when there are fewer vitamin-rich fruits and vegetables available.

Cocktail, rosemary, whipped cream, apricot, thyme, melon, tarragon, pancakes, parsley, sage.
