Ingredients
- 4 whole Oranges
- 4 cups Arugula
- 0.5 whole (small) Red onion
- 0.5 cup Pomegranate seeds
- 0.5 cup Feta cheese, crumbled
- 0.25 cup Pistachios, shelled and roughly chopped
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice, freshly squeezed

Instructions
Peel the oranges, removing as much of the white pith as possible. Slice the oranges into thin rounds and set aside.
Wash and dry the arugula. Place it in a large mixing bowl or salad spinner to ensure no excess moisture remains.
Peel and thinly slice the red onion into half-moon shapes.
In a small bowl, prepare the honey-lime dressing by whisking together olive oil, honey, lime juice, salt, and black pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.
On a large serving platter, begin creating the salad layers. Spread a bed of arugula across the base of the platter.
Arrange the orange slices in overlapping layers on top of the arugula.
Sprinkle the red onion slices evenly over the oranges.
Add pomegranate seeds, crumbled feta cheese, and chopped pistachios over the salad for a burst of flavor and texture.
Drizzle the honey-lime dressing evenly over the entire salad.
Serve immediately and enjoy this refreshing and colorful layered orange salad!
