- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1.5 tablespoons white wine vinegar

Instructions
Peel the oranges and remove as much of the white pith as possible. Slice the oranges into thin rounds and set them aside.
Thinly slice half a red onion into rings and place them in a bowl of cold water for 5 minutes to reduce their sharpness. Drain and pat dry.
Roughly chop the fresh parsley and set aside.
In a small bowl, prepare the dressing by whisking together olive oil, white wine vinegar, honey, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Arrange the mixed salad greens on a large serving platter or bowl.
Layer the orange slices and red onion rings on top of the greens.
Drizzle the dressing evenly over the salad.
Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the salad as a garnish.
Serve immediately and enjoy the vibrant flavors of this refreshing Brazilian-inspired salad.
