Here is a recipe in two parts. First part is for the salad, second part is the dressing. As its a French dressing you could get away with a shop bought alternative. This would be perfect for a sixties themed party.
8 oz. cubed cheddar cheese
2 oranges
2 medium sized onions
4 half inch slices of bread
fat for frying
watercress
French Dressing
6 tablespoons of olive oil
1 tablespoon of orange juice
2 tablespoons of lemon juice
grated rind of 1 orange
salt
pinch of cayenne pepper
1. Place cheese in a mixing bowl. Remove rind and pith from oranges and separate orange segments. Peel onions and slice thinly, separate into rings.
2. Cut bread in to half inch cubes, heat fat to smoking point (really really hot) and fry until golden brown, then drain well.
3. Wash watercress if needed. Make dressing by mixing all ingredients together.
4. Toss all ingredients in dressing separately and arrange in circles overlapping towards the centre.
*Editors Note*
This is quite a straightforward recipe, but without pointing out the obvious you would need to toss togehter the fried bread, watercress, cheese, onions and oranges depending on the style of salad you desire. Tossing the salad might not work, laying it out in some sort of order and presentation might work better. Please feedback if you try this recipe.
