- water
- oranges
- olive oil
- honey
- avocado, halved, pitted and skin removed

Steps
Peel and thinly slice 1 medium red onion. Combine 1/4 cup rice vinegar, honey, and water in a jar with tight-fitting lid. Shake until well blended.
Add onions to the jar. Shake jar to coat onions in liquid, then refrigerate overnight or for at least 6 hours.
If necessary, shake the jar 2-3 times during the 6 hours to be sure the onions marinade evenly.
Pare and slice oranges; remove seeds. Slice avocado.
Combine orange peel, oil, remaining 1/4 cup vinegar, and honey in a small jar with a lid.
For each serving, arrange endive and/or romaine leaves in a spoke-fashion on individual plates.
Portion oranges, avocado and grapefruit pieces onto the center spokes of endive and/or romaine.
Lift Marinated Onions from liquid with a fork and transfer to the top of each salad. Drizzle with dressing before serving.
