Orange salad recipe
Prepare the oranges.
Using a sharp knife cut a slice from the top and the bottom of every fruit.
Place the fruit on a board, bottom down.
Cut off the rind lengthways in thick strips, following the curve of the fruit.
Remove all the white part that can give a bitter taste.
Then slice the fruit crossways.
Chop the parsley and onions finely.
Arrange the orange slices on a deep serving plate.
Sprinkle them with the chopped ingredients, olive oil, salt and pepper.
Let the oranges rest for 30-60 minutes in a cold place before serving.
Note
- - You cal also season the orange slices with olive oil, black olives, salt and pepper as you can see in the photo (use about 100g - 3 1/2 ounces black olives, stoned).
- - It’s also a tasty side dish. Accompany meat or fish dishes with it.
