This salad is all about letting the oranges shine, but it’s got a few other key ingredients that make it pop:
- Oranges: Bitter oranges are traditional, but you can use regular sweet oranges or mix in a few blood oranges for extra colour.
- Olive Oil: A good drizzle of extra virgin olive oil gives it richness. Make sure you're using good, quality extra virgin olive oil, not oil blend impersonators.
- Chilli: A sprinkle of some good chilli flakes will add that extra kick to elevate this dish even further.
- Sea Salt: Hardly needs any explanation.
- Fresh Herbs: Parsley or mint adds a burst of freshness. Basil works great, too.

- For Lunch: Add some greens and a little crumbled feta cheese to make it more filling.
