Peel the oranges and remove the white pith. Slice each orange into thin rounds, then cut each round in half to create half-moon slices. Set aside.
Thinly slice the red onion and soak it in cold water for 5 minutes to reduce its sharpness. Drain and pat dry.
Chop the fresh cilantro leaves roughly and set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, honey, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
In a large salad bowl, combine the orange slices, red onion, roasted peanuts, and chopped cilantro.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat all the ingredients evenly.
Serve immediately as a refreshing side dish or chill in the refrigerator for 10 minutes for an even cooler, more vibrant flavor.
