Loaded with vitamin C, oranges are healthy slices of sunshine that are sure to brighten your palate. You can eat an orange as a healthy mid-day snack, but we're fans of adding citrus of all sorts to meals, desserts, even beverages. In the winter when fresh produce consists mainly of hearty root vegetables and leafy greens, biting into a juicy orange is refreshing and invigorating.

Add Zest to the Table

Credit: Photo: Randy Mayor
View Recipe: Citrus Salad with Balsamic Honey and Pistachios

Nothing compares to the flavor of fresh oranges in their prime—just think how juicy wedges enhance a green salad. Indulge in our seasonal dishes that captures the pure essence of oranges.

Blood oranges are a little bit tart; navels are sweeter—try a mix of the two for a colorful, tasty combo.

Orange and Avocado Salsa

Serve this salsa with chips, or spoon it atop sautéed chicken breast or fish. If you want to make the salsa ahead, omit the cilantro and avocado, and stir them in just before serving. If you find blood oranges, substitute them for regular oranges for seasonal color.

Kale, Jicama, and Orange Salad

View Recipe: Kale, Jicama, and Orange Salad

Bland veggie trays tend to lose out over sugary treats; serve this dish instead. This salad pops with color and texture from juicy citrus, creamy avocado, and crisp jicama. Dark, bumpy kale fits the mood, but you can substitute any lettuce you like. We love the pink hue of Cara Cara oranges in the salad, but regular navel or even blood oranges (in keeping with the spooky theme) would also work. Sturdy lacinato kale will become perfectly tender when dressed and left to stand at room temperature. Coating the avocado in the dressing first will keep it from browning while you're out having fun.

View Recipe: Cinnamon-Orange Pinwheels

There's no need to spend the morning with your mixer; these orange-scented pinwheels freeze beautifully, reheat in just 25 minutes, and make your kitchen smell fantastic. Recruit little ones to help make the icing and spread over the rolls just before serving. These rolls would make great gifts for other harried hosts; deliver with reheating instructions and a container of the icing. To round out the morning meal, serve the rolls with a simple fruit salad and a frittata or soft-scrambled eggs.

Blood Orange and Radicchio Salad

View Recipe: Blood Orange and Radicchio Salad

This salad is a beautiful addition to any table spread with its vibrant orange and deep magenta hues. Hearty radicchio and fennel have real staying power—even after they've been tossed with dressing—which makes this ideal for times when you need a make-ahead salad for a buffet or to take to a potluck. We love the color of blood oranges, but you can use all naval or Cara Cara oranges.

Short ribs are typically braised, but they also hold up beautifully over low heat on the grill—the technique is a real game-changer. So, too, is the lightly charred orange, peel and all: fragrant, fruity, and removed of most of its bitterness.

Orange-Teriyaki Pork Tenderloin

Credit: Photo: Jennifer Causey
View Recipe: Orange-Teriyaki Pork Tenderloin

Homemade teriyaki sauce is much fresher and more vibrant than bottled sauce and makes for a delicious sweet-salty glaze on lean pork tenderloin. Mirin lends this sauce a rich flavor; it’s a sweet rice cooking wine that you'll find near the rice vinegar on the Asian foods aisle. If you can't find it, you can substitute sweet Riesling, dry or cream sherry, or sweet marsala wine. It would be a shame to let any of that luscious sauce go to waste; serve over a bed of brown rice to soak it all up.

The beauty of finger food is that there are no utensils and few plates–so there's very little to wash once everyone has left and the post-party work begins. You can make the cups up to a day ahead.

Seared Scallops with Bacon and Oranges

Credit: Photo: Victor Protasio
View Recipe: Seared Scallps with Bacon and Oranges

Serve this company-worthy platter with a green salad, and you're set for an elegant, fuss-free meal that's ready in less than half an hour. Cooking the scallops in bacon fat imparts a salty sweetness and helps them crisp on the outside while cooking slowly on the inside. A dressing of orange juice, vinegar, and salt drizzled over the simply seasoned scallops imparts even more sweet flavor. Top this 5-ingredient dish evenly with bacon, orange sections, and thyme. For a more affordable (but equally tasty) option, try using shrimp in place of the scallops.

There are plenty of vegetables in this complete dinner, but if you desire, fresh, lightly dressed greens would go well with this dish.

We love the color blood oranges give this classic brunch cocktail. A dash of bitters adds depth. Look for orange bitters—such as Fee Brothers or Stirrings—at liquor stores or specialty grocers. The sugar cube dissolves as you sip, balancing the bitters and giving off bubbles for a festive touch. Juice the oranges and keep chilled up to a day ahead.

Chile-Orange Glazed Pork Tenderloin

View Recipe: Chile-Orange Glazed Pork Tenderloin

Orange marmalade is the surprising hero in this easy weeknight dinner. The fruit spread already has a lot going for it as the basis of a sauce—it’s thick, it’s sweet, and it’s pleasingly bitter. Add apple cider vinegar for tang and adobo sauce from a can of smoky chipotle chiles, and you have a delicious concoction that’s destined to go into regular rotation. The sweet-tart-smoky flavor goes perfectly with pork tenderloin (and the accompanying roasted sweet potatoes), but it would also complement pork chops, roasted chicken thighs, or lamb chops.

Orange-Mango Gritty with Turmeric and Walnuts

Credit: Photo: Iain Bagwell
View Recipe: Orange-Mango Gritty with Turmeric and Walnuts

Here's our take on Paula Wolfert’s daily “gritty”—the opposite of a smoothie thanks to all the nuts, seeds, and spices. The walnut-flaxseed combination adds 2,000mg omega-3s to this satisfying sip, along with a pleasantly nutty balance to the sweet mango and bright citrus. Yogurt lends tangy good-for-the-gut probiotics, and fresh turmeric adds a bright, peppery zing. Some researchers say the curcumin in fresh turmeric is more bioavailable than dried, as some essential oils and pungency are lost in the drying process. We love it for its brighter, livelier flavor. If you can’t find fresh root (a close relative to gingerroot), substitute 1⁄2 teaspoon dried turmeric.

If you’re not in the mood for fish, opt for simply roasted pork tenderloin. Pigs symbolize progress, perhaps because they nose their way forward as they sniff the ground for something good. They also might remind you of a certain money saving device for the spare change you’re likely to collect over the coming year. Intensely floral, faintly bitter orange marmalade is the base for a beautiful sticky glaze that’s brushed on the tenderloin before roasting.

Fresh fall figs should be available this time of year, but if you can't find them, try the dessert with dried figs: Place 24 small stemmed, halved dried figs in a large saucepan with 3/4 cup fresh orange juice, 2 tablespoons honey, 1/4 teaspoon ginger, and 1/4 teaspoon vanilla; bring to a simmer. Simmer 3 minutes; cover, remove from heat, and let stand 15 minutes.

Here we riff off the flavors of a Manhattan cocktail, which is traditionally made with rye whiskey or bourbon, maraschino cherries, and orange rind. For less of a bourbon kick, boil the bourbon in the sauce for a minute before spooning over the chicken.
