• Raw blood orange cucumber composed salad w/ bulgarian feta, pine nut & mint pesto

I had this salad for lunch today...(and then another...) It is so light and refreshing, and yet the added element of the pine nut and mint pesto makes it taste sinfully rich and delicious. Try to use organic if you can (I know, I know you know all this already -- but when using raw ingredients it makes such a difference in taste!) You can either make tiny, individual composed salads, where you layer just one slice upon the other; or you can make a larger composed salad and use three or four pieces per level. It's best to use a mandolin to slice these if you have one, as you want each layer to be almost translucent. (If you don't have a mandolin, just try to slice as thinly as possible.) In the alternative...as I did for dinner -- Just layer it all in a big bowl, through a big dollop of pesto on top, put a bowl of the pesto on the side and dip and eat! (You can substitute regular oranges or tangerines for this dish as well...)
