Ingredients:
How to Make Onion Ring Salad, Cheese, and Citrus Vinaigrette:
- Onion rings always have a more interesting texture if we batter and fry them beforehand. We cut thin rings from a large onion and pass them through flour.
- We fry the rings in plenty of very hot oil , preventing them from burning. Half the time we must turn them over.
- We take them out, already fried, and put them on absorbent kitchen paper.
- Meanwhile we prepare the vinaigrette . We wash well and peel the lemon and orange, taking care not to remove the white part. This is important because it tends to sour foods.
- We squeeze the juice of both citrus fruits and place it in a pot with the citrus peel and the tablespoon of sugar. When it starts to boil, lower it to medium heat and cook for five to ten minutes.
- Next, we let cool and strain. Add the tablespoon of mustard and another of olive oil, salt and pepper to taste and mix.
- Cut the cheese into cubes and the tomato into pieces. We place them in a bowl with the lettuce mixture, the onion rings and pour the vinaigrette on top.
