About

During winter in the south of Spain, when other salad ingredients are in short supply, oranges often form the basis of salads. In this Ensalada de Naranjas they are partnered with thinly sliced red onions and black olives, and flavoured with two popular Middle Eastern ingredients - cumin seeds and mint.

Method

Using a sharp knife, slice the oranges thinly, working over a bowl to catch any juice. Then, holding each orange slice in turn over the bowl, cut round the middle fleshy section with scissors to remove the peel and pith. Reserve the juice. Slice the two red onions thinly and separate the rings.
