Ingredients

1 Tbs Olive oil
1 Tbs Red wine vinegar
1 medium Red onion, very finely sliced
2 large Oranges
7oz Spinach
Watercress or Lettuce
8oz Feta or Blue cheese, cut into chunks
2oz blanched Almonds

Instructions

In a large salad bowl, mix together the olive oil and vinegar. Season with salt and black pepper. Add the red onion and stir well. Using a serrated knife, peel the oranges, removing all the pith. Do this over the salad bowl so that you catch all the drops of orange juice. Segment the oranges with the knife to remove all the membrane, adding them to the bowl with the juice. Put the spinach and watercress into the salad bowl. Toss together to coat in the dressing. Add the chunks of cheese. Toast the almonds, either under the grill or in a heavy-based frying pan, until they begin to brown lightly. Tip onto the salad whilst hot, then serve immediately.
