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

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

Thinly slice the red onion and scatter the pieces over the orange slices.

Step 3

Chop the Kalamata olives roughly and sprinkle them evenly over the oranges and red onions.

Step 4

Finely chop the fresh mint leaves and sprinkle them on top of the salad for a burst of freshness.

Step 5

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, white wine vinegar, honey, sea salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.

Step 6

Drizzle the dressing over the salad evenly, making sure every layer gets a touch of the vinaigrette.

Step 7

Gently toss the salad if desired, or serve it as a composed salad for a more elegant presentation.

Step 8

Let the salad rest for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld, then serve immediately.
