Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Oranges
- 0.5 cup Kalamata olives
- 2 tablespoons Fresh mint leaves
- 0.25 piece Red onion
- 3 tablespoons Extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon White wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Peel the oranges with a sharp knife, removing all the white pith. Slice the oranges into 1/4-inch thick rounds and arrange them on a platter or serving dish.
Thinly slice the red onion and scatter the pieces over the orange slices.
Chop the Kalamata olives roughly and sprinkle them evenly over the oranges and red onions.
Finely chop the fresh mint leaves and sprinkle them on top of the salad for a burst of freshness.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, white wine vinegar, honey, sea salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad evenly, making sure every layer gets a touch of the vinaigrette.
Gently toss the salad if desired, or serve it as a composed salad for a more elegant presentation.
Let the salad rest for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld, then serve immediately.
