Baby Greens with Mango & Marinated Onion
The marinated onions in this salad are tasty on sandwiches, so make a double batch, if you like; they'll keep for a few days in the refrigerator and will soften a bit.
Ingredients
-
1/2 cup very thinly sliced red onion (about half a small onion)
-
1/3 cup red-wine vinegar
-
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
-
2 tablespoons plain seasoned rice vinegar
-
2 tablespoons canola or grapeseed oil
-
2 tablespoons 2extra-virgin olive oil
-
8 to 10 ounces (six to eight large handfuls) baby greens or mesclun, well washed and dried
-
2 medium-size ripe mangos, peeled, pitted, and finely diced (about 2 cups)
Directions
1.
In a small bowl, combine the onion and red-wine vinegar with a little salt and pepper. Set aside for at least 20 minutes or up to 90 minutes.
2.
In a small bowl, combine the seasoned rice vinegar, canola or grapeseed oil, and the olive oil. Just before serving, generously season the greens with salt and pepper, whisk the dressing, and toss the greens with just enough of the dressing to lightly coat. Divide the salad among six or eight large salad plates. Drain the onion. Arrange the onions and mangos over the greens. Serve immediately.

Fig and Orange Salad
The Dutch in New Amsterdam often set out three oranges on the night of Saint Nicholas's expected arrival. The fruit symbolizes the sacks of gold the saint gave as dowries to three poor sisters. Oranges are as good as gold in this side salad recipe of figs, toasted pecans, and salad greens. Serve it with meat dishes.
