Oranges instead of tomato

In winter when it is hard to find a tasty tomato, oranges make a great item in a green salad but preparing the orange is the important part.  You want the succulent juicy segments without the fiber.  Begin by slicing off the ends and then peel the orange by following the line of the rind with your knife around the orange with each slice.
When the orange is completely peeled, insert your knife into a segment and cut out just the juicy part between each fibrous divider (see pictures).
Toss with dried cranberries, avocado, red sweet onion, lettuce, chopped parsley, your choice of nut or seed and your own special vinaigrette.
