Orange, Onion, And Basil Salad

 Categories: Salads, Appetizers, Nuts, Fruits 
      Yield: 6 servings 
  
      3 lg Navel oranges 
      2 lg Red onions, sliced 
      1 sm Turnip, julienned* 
  7 1/2 tb Olive oil 
      2 tb Balsamic vinegar 
           Freshly ground pepper 
      2 tb Pine nuts 
      2 c  Basil leaves 
           Salt 
  
  Grate the zest from one of the oranges and place it in the bottom of 
  a wide salad bowl.  Without peeling, slice all the oranges about 1/4 
  to 3/8 inch thick.  Squeeze the juice from the end slices into the 
  bowl over the zest. Remove any seeds, then remove the peel from each 
  slice by laying it flat and turning it as you take a series of 
  straight downward cuts, leaving no white pulp.  Place the peeled 
  slices in the bowl. Separate the onion slices into rings and add to 
  the bowl. 
  In a small bowl, whisk together 7 tb. of the olive oil, the vinegar, 
  and some pepper.  Pour this vinaigrette over the onion and orange 
  slices. Toss gently, being careful not to break up the orange slices, 
  until the oranges and onions are coated.  Marinate for 30 minutes to 
  1 hour. 
  Heat the remaining 1/2 tb. of oil in a skillet; brown the pine nuts 
  over medium heat until they are medium tan - don't allow them to 
  blacken. 
  Wash and dry the basil.  Chop the leaves if they are large; leave them 
  whole if they are small.  Just before serving, add the basil and pine 
  nuts to the salad bowl, toss gently, and serve.  Salt to taste.
