It sounds strange but this Orange and Olive Salad is the best tasting salad–and pretty to look at, too! It came from Alice Waters’ The Art of Simple Food. Oranges, red onions and black olives with a simple vinaigrette. I’ve since seen it in many different forms in different cookbooks but I like her simple approach.
I like to get the salad ready a bit ahead of time, get the dressing made in the jar and then put them together just before eating.
