Simple Orange, Olive and Mint Salad Vinaigrette

Simple Orange, Olive and Mint Salad Vinaigrette

An easy, zesty side salad. Nice and refreshing to serve with Baba Ganoush and Perfect Toasted Pita Triangles.

Ingredients: 
  • 1 large navel orange
  • ¼ cup kalamata olives, pitted, cut in half
  • 2 tablespoons fresh mint, cleaned, dried and slivered
  • ¼ cup balsamic vinaigrette, see recipe
  • 1 cup baby arugula, cleaned and dried

 

Method: 

Cut the rind and white pith off the orange with a serrated knife. Take your time rotating the orange. Cut thin slices crosswise. Cut in half for smaller slices, or leave round. Place the slices on a plate, top with the olives and mint. Drizzle with half of the vinaigrette. Let sit to marinate at least 30 minutes. In a bowl, toss the arugula (if using) with the remaining vinaigrette, top with the oranges and serve.
