Orange and Red Onion Salad Recipe

Ingredients :

Serves 7

• 6 oranges

• 2 red onions

• 15ml / 1 tbsp cumin seeds

• 5ml / 1 tsp coarsely ground black pepper

• 15ml / 1 tbsp chopped fresh mint

• 90ml / 6 tbsp olive oil

• salt
  
  To serve :

• fresh mint sprigs

• black olives

Method :

1. Slice the oranges thinly, working over a bowl to catch any juice. Then, holding each orange slice in turn over the bowl, cut round with scissors to remove the peel and all of the white pith.

2. Using a sharp knife, slice the red onions thinly and then separate into rings.

3. Arrange the orange and onion slices in layers in a shallow dish, sprinkling each layer with cumin seeds, pepper, mint, olive oil and salt. Pour over the reserved orange juice.

4. Leave the salad to marinate in a cool place for about 2 hours. Just before serving, scatter the salad with the mint sprigs and black olives.
