Ingredients
- 3 whole Oranges
- 1 medium Red onion
- 3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 1.5 tablespoons Red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
Peel the oranges, removing as much of the white pith as possible. Slice them crosswise into thin, round slices and set aside.
Peel the red onion and slice it into very thin rings using a sharp knife or mandoline.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, honey, salt, and black pepper to create the vinaigrette.
Arrange the orange slices on a large serving platter or salad bowl. Scatter the red onion slices evenly over the oranges.
Drizzle the vinaigrette evenly over the salad.
If desired, garnish with fresh parsley for added color and flavor.
Serve immediately or let the salad sit for 5-10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld before serving.
