Ingredients:
- 4 oranges
- 1 red onion
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions:
1. Begin by peeling the oranges. Use a sharp knife to remove the skin and pith from the oranges, making sure to remove all the white membranes. Slice the oranges into thin rounds or segments.
2. Slice the red onion into thin rings. If you prefer a milder flavor, you can soak the onion rings in cold water for 10 minutes, then drain and pat dry.
3. Arrange the orange slices on a serving platter. Scatter the sliced red onions over the oranges.
4. In a small bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar until well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
5. Drizzle the dressing over the oranges and onions. Make sure to coat all the ingredients evenly.
6. Optional: Tear some fresh mint leaves and sprinkle them over the salad for an extra burst of freshness and aroma.
7. Allow the flavors to meld for a few minutes before serving. You can serve the Insalata di Arance chilled or at room temperature.
This refreshing and vibrant salad is perfect as an appetizer or as a side dish to accompany a main course. Enjoy the delightful combination of flavors!
