Step 1: You will need

  • 4 oranges

Wash the mint thoroughly under a cold tap and pat dry very well with some kitchen roll. Set aside a few sprigs of mint to garnish the salad.

Strip the mint leaves from the stalk and snip the leaves into strips using the scissors.

Step 4: Prepare the oranges

Cut off the tops and bottoms of the oranges. Cut off the skin, removing as much of the white pith as possible. Cut them crosswise into 1cm thick slices.

Step 5: Prepare the onions

Peel the onions and then slice them into thin rings.

Step 6: Arrange the dish

Arrange the sliced oranges on a large platter.

Step 7: Add the onion

Scatter the onion rings on top of the orange slices and sprinkle the chopped mint and a handful of black olives all over the plate.

Just before serving, pour some olive oil and the sherry vinegar over your salad. Season with salt and pepper and serve.
