Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

2 large tomatoes -- 3/4 " slices

2 blood oranges -- peeled and cut in

1/2-inch slices

2 tbsps red onion -- crescents

1/2 lime -- juiced

2 tsps extra virgin olive oil

1/4 tsp ground cumin

1 Pinch ground cinnamon

Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

 

Alternate the slices of tomato and oranges on a serving plate, arranging them

in rows or in a ring. Sprinkle the onion crescents over the sliced tomato and

orange.

 

In a small bowl, combine the lime juice, oil, cumin and cinnamon. Add any

juices that may have collected from the sliced oranges and tomatoes. Season

to taste with salt and pepper.

 

Pour the dressing over the salad. Cover with plastic and set aside for 20

minutes to allow the flavors to blend. Serve immediately.

 

OPTIONS: Segment the oranges instead of slicing them. Arrange over the sliced

tomatoes, along with sliced radishes in place of the onion. Use the same

dressing.

NOTES : The flavor of blood orange reminds some people of raspberries. While

they grow in California, the blood oranges that come from Sicily between

December and May are considered the best. Anthocyannis, which stain blood

oranges red, along with the lycopene in tomatoes and curcumin in the spices

of this salad are all cancer-preventive phytochemicals. This salad is simple

to prepare. Its lush, Moroccan flavor will make you want to serve it

regularly. Use naval oranges when you can't get blood oranges.

You can find this recipe and other tasty and nutritious salads in AICR's new

book, Stopping Cancer Before It Starts, based on the groundbreaking

international report published last year.
