    Red onions are sliced, as are navel oranges. Tomatoes are chopped, parsley is tossed in. The salad is dressed with a mix of sherry vinegar, olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. As tomatoes are not that great around these parts, even when they are in season, I used cherry tomatoes, which seem to maintain more flavor year around. I quartered the onion slices and halved orange sections, just for uniformity with the cherry toms. I used a sweet red onion, as the standard red onions we've been getting have been annoyingly hot lately. This is a quick and easy salad, with bright, contrasting colors and flavors. It worked well with the chicken ballottine, but would be great with beef or fish also. I'll be happy to try it again in the late summer when we have a chance at better tomatoes.
