Life is either a daring adventure or nothing ~ Helen Keller.
Make your bucket list. Go out now. Make some memories. Take a chance. Enjoy the ride. Don’t wait too long to start crossing things off. Memories are much sweeter than Regrets.
1-2 medium size oranges1 medium red onionfresh mintlime zest (optional)
i sliced the onion. i realized afterwards i should have sliced them julianne so i did dice them smaller after the picture was taken.then peeled oranges and sliced like pinwheels not long segmentscombined them in a large salad bowl drizzled with a little olive oil and sprinkled with parmesan cheesetopped with mint and olives (this recipe courtesy of Rachel Ray)
my variation (added):fresh mint (from my garden)black oliveslime zest and served with a few pepperoncini over mixed iceberg and butter lettuceit was very good. different. be aware the onions can a bit overpowering especially after the salad sits (marinates awhile) you may want to use more sparingly they are very strong, a little goes a long way.i want to make this again and use feta cheese
so for a quick easy dish on the fly this is a definite winner. next time i’ll get all the ingredients for Rachel’s recipe and make with fewer deviations. however, i like that i can put my own spin on most of her dishes. in fact she encourages and often gives suggestions to do just that.
what a fantastic way to enjoy oranges anytime really.
