6 larges | Oranges |
1 tablespoon | Honey |
½ teaspoon | Cinnamon |
1 pounds | Mixed salad greens; clean,dry,chill |

1 cup | Thinly sliced radishes |
3 tablespoons | Extra virgin olive oil |

DO STEP ONE AHEAD OF TIME, IT'S MOST OF THE WORK. STEP ONE: At least one hour ahead, peel and section the oranges, using a serrated knife. First cut off the polar ends of the peel, then slice the peel off the sides. With a gentle sawing motion, cut in one side of the membrane, and out the other, releasing each orange section into a bowl. Squeeze all excess juice from the remaining membrane into the bowl as well, and pick out the seeds if necessary. Discard the membrane.
Drizzle honey if desired, and sprinkle cinnamon over the orange slices.
When you are finished drizzling and sprinkling, cover the bowl and let it stand at room temperature at least one hour.
STEP TWO:
Shortly before serving, toss the greens in a large bowl with the onion radishes and olive oil. Season to taste with salt and fresh ground black pepper.
STEP THREE:
Just before serving, add the oranges with all their liquid, and toss well.
STEP FOUR:
Serve topped with walnuts.
