I’m a big fan of adding fruit to my salads, especially oranges. I just love the vibrant color and flavor they bring. This particular salad is the perfect blend of Mediterranean flavors, with sliced oranges, fennel, onion and olives.
Make sure to use juicy oranges, like Valencia. This simple and easy dish is best eaten outside on a hot summer day along with a glass of refreshing sangria. Another great Mediterranean salad to try is this flavorful kale salad with oranges and blueberries.

How beautiful! I love this salad with winter citrus. But my favorite version was in Rome, where the restaurant used blood oranges. Gorgeous!
Thank you, Ann! Mmm, that sounds fantastic with blood oranges. I’ll have to make that sometime!
This is absolutely so refreshing and delish! Love your photos. Have a fun summer, Barb!
Thanks, Betty Ann 🙂 You too!
This is one of my favorite combinations. It’s so simple, fresh, and satisfying. I love to use blood oranges in the winter.
Yum, I’ll do that this winter myself 🙂
