Ingredients
Potatoes:
- Vegetable oil cooking spray
- 1 1/2 pounds baby potatoes, halved
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Salad:
- 2 medium oranges
- 2 packed cups (2 ounces) arugula
- 1/2 cup (2 ounces) crumbled Gorgonzola
- 1/3 cup toasted chopped walnuts, see Cook's Note
Dressing:
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh orange juice
- 1 tablespoon champagne vinegar
- 1 tablespoon orange zest (from 1 medium orange)
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Directions
Potatoes: Put an oven rack in the upper third of the oven. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Spray a heavy baking sheet with vegetable oil cooking spray. Put the potatoes and the olive oil in a medium bowl and toss until coated. Arrange the potatoes, cut side down, in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Roast until golden, about 35 to 40 minutes Remove the potatoes from the oven and set aside to cool for 15 minutes.
Salad: Peel and trim the ends from each orange. Using a paring knife, cut along the membrane on both sides of each segment. Free the segments and add them to a salad bowl. Squeeze the juice from the membranes into a small bowl and reserve 1 tablespoon of juice for the dressing. Add the arugula, Gorgonzola, walnuts and the cooled potatoes to the salad bowl.
Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, reserved orange juice, vinegar, and orange zest until smooth. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
Add the dressing to the potato mixture and toss well. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, and serve.
Notes
To toast the walnuts, arrange them in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake them in a preheated 350 degree F oven until lightly toasted, about 6 to 8 minutes. Cool completely before using.

This unusual and beautiful salad was a show stopper with a beef tenderloin for our Easter dinner at 1 pm --it kept the beef from feeling too heavy and covered all the food groups in one easy bowl: potato, fruit and greens! I had oven-roasted shrimp on the menu for the non-red meat eaters, and this salad worked beautifully with the shrimp too. I made Giada's parmesan butter crostini with it -- all wonderful. The guests thought I was a great cook -- thanks to Giada's recipes!!

Didn't have a few things on hand so...substituted white balsamic for the champagne vinegar; red potatoes for the babies and fresh mozzarella for the gorgonzola. That being said it was still very good. Never would have thought of putting roasted potatoes in a salad but we enjoyed it.
