Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 whole Oranges
- 1 small Red onion
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 0.25 cup Black olives (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Red wine vinegar
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
Peel the oranges, removing all the white pith, and slice them into thin rounds. Arrange the orange slices on a serving platter, slightly overlapping them.
Peel the red onion and slice it thinly into rings. Soak the slices in cold water for 5 minutes to reduce their sharpness, then drain and pat dry. Scatter the onion rings over the orange slices.
Roughly chop the fresh parsley and sprinkle it over the salad. If using, add the black olives for extra flavor and color.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, salt, and black pepper until emulsified.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad, ensuring even coverage. Allow the salad to sit for about 5 minutes to let the flavors meld.
Serve immediately as a refreshing starter or side dish.
