Orange Salad With Black Olives

Total Time: 15 mins Preparation Time: 15 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 2
• 4 sweet oranges
• 100 g black olives (= 3 1/2 ounces, use less if desired)
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1/3 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1 teaspoon sweet paprika

Recipe

• 1 slice 1/2-inch thick piece off the top and bottom of the oranges. slice off the rind, including all of the bitter pith.
• 2 now you have two options: either you fillet your oranges as in the original recipe or you slice them as on the picture. if you serve them as a starter or as a main dish, i find it nicer to slice them and arrange the slices on individual plates. if served as a side dish, it is probably more convenient to fillet the oranges (see introduction).
• 3 if you choose to slice the peeled oranges, arrange the slices nicely on individual plates. if you choose to fillet the oranges, chop the fillets in 1 cm / 1/2 inch cubes.
• 4 pit the olives and either halve them or cut them into stripes (that's what i do). arrange them on top of your sliced oranges or put them into a bowl and add your chopped oranges and olives.
• 5 mix all the ingredients for the dressing and drizzle the dressing over your sliced oranges or mix it carefully with the chopped ones.
• 6 this salad should not be mixed in advance, as the olives will colour the oranges.
