Morrocan Orange-Walnut Salad

Serves 4-6 (Note: this takes some time to prep., but it is delicious!)

6 Large Oranges
1 cup thinly sliced radishes
1 Tbs. honey (optional)
3 Tbs. extra-virgin olive oil
½ tsp. cinnamon salt to taste

1 lb. mixed salad greens, cleaned dried and chilled
½ cup thinly sliced red onion

freshly ground black pepper
1 cup toasted walnut halves,
  (or chopped toasted walnuts)

At least one hour ahead: Peel and section the oranges using a serrated knife. First cut off the polar ends of the peel, then slice the peel off the sides. Cut in one side of the membrane and out the other using a gentle sawing motion, releasing each orange section into a bowl. Squeeze all excess juice from the remaining membrane into the bowl, and pick out the seeds if necessary. Discard the membrane. Drizzle honey if desired, and sprinkle cinnamon over the orange slices. Cover the bowl and let it stand at room temp. at least one hour.

Shortly before serving, toss the greens in a large bowl with the onion, radishes and olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Just before serving, add the oranges with all their liquid, and toss well. Served topped with walnuts.
