Served room temperature or chilled, this salad - combining tangy oranges, sweet and crunchy fennel and zesty marinated pork - is delightful for a warm summer evening.
INGREDIENTS:
1 large orange
Chipotle-Marinated Pork Tenderloin, grilled (see recipe), thinly sliced and cut into strips
1 small head fennel, (about 8 ounces), trimmed, cored and sliced paper-thin
2 tablespoons finely diced red onion
1 tablespoon walnut or canola oil
1 tablespoon red-wine vinegar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons pepitas (pumpkin seeds), toasted (see Ingredient Note)
DIRECTIONS:
1. With a sharp knife, remove the peel and skin from the orange. Working over a large bowl to catch the juice, cut the segments from their surrounding membranes. (Discard membranes, pith and skin.) Add pork, fennel, onion, oil, vinegar, salt and pepper to the bowl; toss to combine. Sprinkle with pepitas.
Tips:
Ingredient Note: Pepitas, olive-green-hulled pumpkin seeds, are commonly used in Mexican cooking. Find them in the bulk-foods section of natural-foods markets or Mexican grocers.
To toast seeds: Cook in a small dry skillet over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until fragrant and lightly browned, 2 to 4 minutes.
MAKE AHEAD TIP: Cover and refrigerate for up to 1 day. Sprinkle with pepitas just before serving.
