Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by cutting off the top and bottom of each navel orange to create a flat base. Peel the oranges, removing all the pith, then slice them into beautiful rounds about half an inch thick.
  2. Once your oranges are beautifully laid out, it’s time to add the flavorful toppings. Scatter thinly sliced sweet yellow onion over the oranges, followed by torn fresh mint leaves. Lastly, sprinkle the halved black olives.
  3. In a small mixing bowl, combine apple cider vinegar with honey or agave nectar, whisk in Dijon mustard, ground cinnamon, and salt.
  4. While whisking the vinegar mixture, slowly drizzle in your chosen oil until well combined.
  5. Just before serving, generously drizzle the vinaigrette over the salad.
  6. Serve the Greek Orange Salad immediately to enjoy the bright flavors.
