When the first of the new season’s sweet navel oranges start to arrive in early December, they are a great excuse to make this classic Sicilian salad. We find the combination of sweet...

4 navel oranges
1 small shallot, finely chopped
Juice of ½ a lemon
¼ cup olive oil
½ teaspoon hot paprika
½ cup oil-cured black olives, quartered
½ small fennel, very thinly sliced (you can use a mandolin if you have one)
5 cups arugula, washed
Pecans (Optional)

Directions

Using a sharp knife, cut the tops and bottoms off of the oranges. Stand upright and cut downward to remove the rind and pith in thick strips. Cut crosswise into ¼-inch slices. Then into quarters.
In a large salad bowl, whisk together the shallot, lemon juice, olive oil, and hot paprika, until well blended. Add the olives, fennel, and oranges. Cover and let sit in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
When ready to serve toss with arugula.

Chef Tips

If you prefer this salad without leafy greens, just reduce the amount of dressing by roughly ⅓.
