Orange Laced Cucumbers~Cool and Fresh!

Oranges are SO juicy and fresh! Love to eat them all year long and this refreshing salad just hollers cool!!

4 naval oranges, peeled and sectioned             Oranges
2 cucumber, sliced
1 C of orange juice
1/2 C of honey
1/2 C of olive oil
1 tsp cider vinegar

Put the orange sections into a serving bowl.
Add the cucumber slices and gently toss to combine.
Pour the orange juice into a small mixing bowl.
Whisk in the honey until well combined.
Add the oil and vinegar and whisk until blended together well.
Pour the mixture over the oranges and cucumbers and toss gently to coat.

This should make about 8 servings

You can use a serrated knife to cut your cucumbers for a prettier salad.  It looke pretty cool. You can also place the salad over a bed of lettuce if you are making single servings.

Now For Those Onion Rings!!

onion-rings22-3 sweet onions (Vidalia anyone??)

flour

salt

pepper

buttermilk

oil for frying

slice the onions about 3/8″ and separate the rings

dredge(cool word) the onion rings into flour that has been seasoned with salt and pepper.

Dip the floury onion rings into buttermilk to completely coat them and then dip them into flour again that has been seasoned with salt and pepper.

Fry them in oil for about 1-2 minutes then flip them over to the other side. They cook really fast (but not as fast as fried pickles!!!)

How about some dippin sauce????

A tsp of Dijon mustard and 2 tbsp of honey added to a cup of sour cream makes an awesome honey-mustard dippin sauce!!

Add some of that honey to BBQ sauce for a great tasting Honey Barbecue Sauce.

Enjoy!!
