Ingredients

• 2 pieces navel orange
• 1 medium red onion
• 0.5 cup black olives
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Peel and segment the navel oranges. Using a paring knife, carefully cut away the peel and pith, then cut between the membrane to remove the segments. Reserve any juice that accumulates during this process in a bowl.

Step 2

Peel and thinly slice the red onion into rings. If the onion has a strong bite, soak it in cold water for 5 minutes, then drain and pat dry.

Step 3

In a serving bowl, combine the orange segments, sliced red onion, and black olives.

Step 4

In a small bowl, whisk together the reserved orange juice, extra virgin olive oil, red wine vinegar, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.

Step 5

Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss to combine, ensuring all ingredients are evenly coated.

Step 6

Finely chop the fresh parsley and sprinkle it over the salad as a garnish.

Step 7

Serve immediately or let the salad sit for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld before serving.
