Orange Salad à la Monica

Orange, olive, and green onion salad.

This is a Sicilian specialty, at its best when prepared with blood oranges. I got the recipe from Monica, a born and bred Sicilian.

  2. In a small bowl, mix the extra virgin olive oil, reserved orange juice, minced chili pepper, salt, and pepper to taste. Pour over the salad.
  3. Allow to stand for at least 30 min before sprinkling with the chopped parsley, then serve.
