Recipe - Mexican Orange Salad

3 md Oranges
1 lg Red onion
Ice water
Three fourths cup Salad oil
One fourth cup Tarragon vinegar
1 teaspoon Sugar
Three fourths teaspoon Salt
One fourth teaspoon Paprika
One fourth teaspoon Dry mustard
One fourth teaspoon Pepper
1 Clove garlic, halved
One fourth teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/8 teaspoon Thyme
One fourth teaspoon Chili powder
1/8 teaspoon Cumin
2 dr Tabasco sauce (opt.)

FOR DRESSING: In a screwtop jar; combine all the ingredients except the
onion, oranges and ice water. Cover tightly and shake well. Store covered
in the refrigerator and shake well before using. FOR SALAD: Peel oranges
and slice into rounds, remove seeds and set aside. Peel onion and slice
into rings. Place in bowl and cover with the ice water. Let stand for 15 to
30 minutes (doing this will take the bitterness from the onions). Drain the
onions and separate into rings. Combine the oranges and onions in a salad
bowl and pour dressing over all. Let flavors combine for about an hour
before serving. Store in the refrigerator. FOR BEST RESULTS: Oranges should
be cut or sliced up into One fourth inch slices and onions should be cut or sliced up as thin as
possible. If the oranges are not nice and sweet; sprinkle them with about 2
to 3 teaspoons of sugar and let stand for 15 minutes.
