Ingredients
- 2 medium red onions
- 3 large oranges
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 0.5 cup black olives
Directions
Step 1
Peel and thinly slice the red onions into rings. If you find the flavor of raw onions too strong, soak the slices in cold water for 10 minutes, then drain and pat dry with a paper towel.
Step 2
Peel the oranges, removing all white pith. Slice them into round discs about half a centimeter thick, and carefully remove any seeds if present.
Step 3
Arrange the orange slices on a large serving plate or bowl. Scatter the sliced red onions evenly on top of the oranges.
Step 4
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, sea salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.
Step 5
Drizzle the dressing over the oranges and onions, ensuring an even coating.
Step 6
Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley and black olives on top for garnish.
Step 7
Serve immediately as a refreshing appetizer or side dish.
