Mediterranean Orange & Mint Salad

This lovely light and fresh salad is a perfect accompaniment to a variety of summer dinners: roast chicken, burgers, barbequed kabobs…you name it. The flavours are distinctly Mediterranean and outdoorsy.

 Ingredients:

¼ Red Onion
3 Oranges, peeled
10 Kalamata Olives, sliced in half and pitted
10 Fresh Mint Leaves
¼ Cup Pine Nuts
2 Tbsp Olive Oil
1 Tbsp Sri Lankan True Cinnamon
1-2 tsp Honey
2 tsp Orange Blossom Water

Instructions:

• Toast the pine nuts briefly in a dry pan. Set aside to cool.
• Roughly chop the red onion, oranges and mint into a nice bite-sized texture.
• Combine the olive oil, cinnamon, honey, orange blossom water, and salt and pepper to taste in a jar or bottle and shake together.
• Toss together onions, oranges, pine nuts and mint in a salad bowl with enough dressing to coat everything and serve immediately.
