Categories: Appetizers, Salads, Low-fat/low, Garlic
Yield: 4 servings

6 Navel oranges -- chilled
4 c Spinach -- trimmed
1 1/2 c Watercress
1 tb Pine nuts
1/3 c Shallot -- minced
2 Cloves garlic -- peeled and
Minced
5 tb Balsamic vinegar
2 ts Sherry vinegar
Freshly ground black pepper
To taste

Peel the oranges and remove the white pith. Over a
bowl positioned to catch
the juice, separate the segments of each orange from
the membrane with a sharp knife, discarding the seeds
and set them aside. Squeeze the residual juice from
the membranes into the bowl and reserve.

Combine the spinach and watercress in a mixing bowl.

Put the pine nuts in a small saute pan and cook them
over medium heat for about 6 minutes, shaking the pan
occasionally, until the nuts are golden brown.
Transfer the pine nuts to a small bowl.

Put the shallots, garlic, vinegars, and reserved
orange juice into the saute
pan. Bring to a boil over low heat. Stir int he
black pepper then pour the
dressing over the spinach and watercress. Toss to
coat.

Arrange the mixture on salad plates, spoon orange
segments atop each, and garnish with the pine nuts,
and if you like, orange wheels.
