- 1 tablespoon White wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Honey

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.
