Ingredients
Scale
- 3–4 medium fresh oranges (navel or blood oranges)
- About 10 fresh mint leaves
- A pinch of sea salt
- 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup (optional)
- 1 tsp freshly squeezed lime juice
- Optional add-ins: chopped pistachios or toasted coconut flakes, fresh blueberries or pomegranate seeds
Instructions
- Peel the oranges using a sharp paring knife, removing peel and white pith carefully.
- Slice the peeled oranges into 1/4-inch thick slices, then halve or quarter them for bite-sized pieces.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together lime juice, sea salt, and honey or maple syrup if using.
- Gently toss the orange slices with the dressing using a spoon or tongs. Add optional add-ins if desired.
- Finely chop fresh mint leaves and sprinkle over the fruit mixture. Toss lightly to distribute evenly.
- Spoon the dressed orange slices into serving cups or bowls, ensuring a good balance of fruit and mint.
- Chill the cups in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes before serving (optional but recommended).
Notes
Add fresh mint just before serving to keep it vibrant. Avoid over-tossing the orange slices to prevent excess juice. Optional add-ins like nuts or berries add texture and color. Store leftovers covered in the fridge up to 24 hours.
