6 2 1/2" fresh sage leaves (preferably pinapple sage)

1/4 c chopped fresh pineapple

4 kumquats, sliced & seeded

1/2 t chopped shallot

1/8 t chopped, blanched garlic

salt and pepper to taste

6 T champagne vinegar (or red wine vinegar)

1 1/2 c vegetable oil

Salad:

--------------------

4 very small oranges

8 c lamb's lettuce, or arugula or other small leaf

greens

8 red radish roses

4 white radish roses

4 drained, canned hearts of palm sliced

1 small navel orange, cut into thin wedges

pesticide free pineapple sage blossoms

For vinaigrette, combine it all in a blender or food processor,

drizzling oil in last of all. Cover and set aside.

To make salad. Slice both ends of the four oranges. Use a grapefruit

knife to hollow out centers of oranges to create a vase. Save orange pulp

for use another time. Stuff a few leaves in each vase. Whisk vinaigrette

and pour on 4 serving plates. Arrange orange vases, lettuce, radish

roses, hearts of palm and orange wedges on plate. Garnish with blossoms.
