Salad with Orange

watna

This may sound like a strange question seeming as in Ireland it's heading for winter but here in NZ we had a weekend of the most glorious suny weather. I have friends coming over soon and we're haing a pot-luck dinner eating out on the picnic table. I've made a few of the usual salads for it but I wanted to make a citrus kind of one with orange in it. I couldn't find anything that took my fancy online. I know I had a rice kind of one at a friends before but that was a while ago. Anyone have any suggestions for tried and trusted summer recipes using orange?

Chicory, orange, roast beetroot and hazelnuts, dress with creme fraiche. Either cut the ingredients into large pieces and mix in a bowl with a couple of tbsps of oil and some salt & pepper, or for a fancy way of serving it, dice the orange segments and beetroot, lightly crush the hazelnuts and mix together with oil and seasonings. Separate the chicory into single leaves. Put a dollop of creme fraiche on a chicory leaf and spread it a little - then pile on the other ingredients. Arrange on a platter.
