Orange Onion Salad

This is a beautiful, easy salad.  When you section or slice the oranges, catch the juice in a bowl for the dressing.  If you have a long white platter, this is perfect to line up slices for attractive buffet serving.  In bowls, I prefer orange sections and cutting the onion slices in half for easier eating.
