Serves
4 as salad, 6 if paired with cake
Author Notes
This recipe is a very slight adaptation of one from my fiancé’s mother. She serves it with a slice of pastis landais that she buys from a local bakery and the combination is phenomenal. I am sure that the dish would also be lovely with a classic pound cake or French yogurt cake. The salad is fantastic on its own as well. I will often, shamelessly, have seconds and even thirds of the salad when she serves it for dessert, though I tell myself that it doesn’t count since I’m not having the cake. —célineismoi
Ingredients
-
4
navel oranges
-
1 teaspoon
rosewater, or less if your rosewater is very aromatic
-
1/2 teaspoon
cinnamon
-
pinch
salt
-
drizzle
mildly flavored extra virgin olive oil
-
several
mint leaves
Directions
-
Segment the oranges. My fiancé’s mother peels them and slices them into rings, but I prefer segments. Either works.
-
Arrange the orange segments on a plate. Drizzle them with the rosewater and sprinkle them with the cinnamon and salt.
-
Drizzle them with the tiniest drizzle of olive oil you can manage.
-
Chiffonade the mint leaves and sprinkle them over the dressed orange segments.
