A couple of years ago, while visiting Sicily, I discovered an unusual yet very simple and delicious salad. It was made of oranges, red onion and extra virgin olive oil. It was truly a fabulous combo!
The other day a friend of mine came over for lunch and I thought this salad would work perfectly as a small starter.
What’s nice about this dish is that it’s super refreshing and gives you a great boost of energy. I’m sure I will be making it often this spring and summer ….. it tastes much better when the sun is shining 
Happy sunny days everyone!
PS: You can substitute red onion with fresh fennel.
