Ingredients
- 3 large oranges
- 1 medium red onion
- 100 grams black olives
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Peel the oranges carefully, removing all the white pith. Slice the oranges into thin round slices and set them aside.
Step 2
Peel and thinly slice the red onion into rings or half-rings for a milder flavor. Soak the onion slices in a bowl of cold water for 5 minutes to reduce their pungency, then drain and pat dry with paper towels.
Step 3
Rinse the black olives under cold water if they are particularly briny. Pat them dry and slice them in half or leave them whole, depending on your preference.
Step 4
Arrange the orange slices on a large platter, slightly overlapping them in a circular pattern or a single layer.
Step 5
Scatter the red onion slices evenly over the orange slices, followed by the black olives.
Step 6
Drizzle the extra virgin olive oil evenly over the salad.
Step 7
Sprinkle the salad with salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste.
Step 8
Finely chop the fresh parsley and sprinkle it over the salad as a garnish.
Step 9
Serve immediately as a fresh and vibrant side dish or light appetizer. Enjoy!
