2 lg Oranges
1/4 c Reduced-fat mayonnaise
1 tb Sherry or cider vinegar
2 ts Honey
2 ts Canned green peppercorns,

Lengthwise, cut lettuce through core into quarters.
Immerse in water and gently swish to remove dirt;
shake gently to remove water. Wrap in towels, slip
into plastic bags, and chill 30 minutes or up to a day.

Grate enough orange peel to make 1/2 teaspoon. Cut
remaining peel and white membrane off oranges. Over a
bowl, cut between membranes to remove orange sections.
Squeeze membrane over bowl. Drain off all the juice
and measure; you need 3 tablespoons (save extra juice
for another use).

Whisk together the 3 tablespoons orange juice, orange
peel, mayonnaise, vinegar, honey, and peppercorns. If

separately up to 4 hours. On each of 4 salad or
dinner plates, place 1 wedge of lettuce. Top with
equal portions of fruit and dressing.
