Orange Salad

In the early 1900's my grandfather came to the U.S. from Sicily..so did this recipe.. If you can find Blood Oranges, use them..

4-5 Oranges peeled and diced
3/4 cup olive oil
2-3 cloves of garlic..sliced or minced
salt..as much as you think it needs..

this needs to be kept cold...so is really only good the first day or so on the playa, but is an awesome breakfast! Cuts right through that layer of dust in your mouth!

That sounds disgusting, ever try brushing your teeth instead ?

That doesn't really sound very good. I might give it a try with one orange and a half clove of garlic and oil as a test, cause sometimes unlikely combinations of flavors can be surprising.

I like all of the ingredients..., I'm just not certain about all of them together... (or that much olive oil)!

I'm with the OP on this one. Add a little fancy lettuce and some nuts and feta cheese and you have a real salad.

I may have overdone it with the olive oil..
it's an odd combination of ingredients, but they compliment each other suprisingly. If any of you think this is gross...I have a version that calls for boiled tripe.. Wanna see that kiddies??

I seem to remember bringing an empty bowl home, from the Burning Man Volunteer Fair back in 2001...apparently it's not that "gross" after all!

I'll stick to Natto.

I'm printing out the recipe-- I think I will show it to someone who has a better stocked kitchen than me and see if it gets made.

Natto also sounds like something I would like to try. (Natto toast looked good.) Come to think of it, I may have had natto-- it looks familiar...

some people think peanut butter and pickle sandwiches are gross, and I cringed the first time someone offered me a cinnamon covered orange slice with my tequila shot - but oh was it yummy!! I'll try it, garlic is yummy, especially roasted :)

It's hard to gross out a burner.

Not true! A hippie can gross out a real burner by his very existence.

Some would say that there is no difference, but we know better.
