No Recipe Red Onion and Orange Salad

I enjoy oranges peeled into segments and layered into this quick and easy salad. You don’t even need a recipe. Just drizzle olive oil in-between the layers, and the released orange juice blends with the oil creating a flavorful dressing. For some fun variations, feel free to layer in torn basil leaves, sliced green onions, or for a punch of flavor add red pepper flakes and sliced black olives. Share your salad with me on Instagram @y_delicacies. Enjoy!

Cut the ends off of each orange.  Using a paring knife, work around the orange slicing off the peel until it is completely removed.

Cut the trimmed oranges into thin slices. Place the orange slices on a platter in a slightly over lapping layer.  Sprinkle with salt and pepper.  Add thinly sliced red onions, and drizzle with extra virgin olive oil.  Repeat the layers until you have used all of your sliced oranges and sliced onions.    Let the salad sit at room temperature for at least 20 minutes, and up to 8 hours.  The olive oil and orange juice will create a delicious dressing. 

Right before serving, add crumbled feta cheese and serve.
