Sicilian orange salad

Sicilian orange salad, known in Italian as , is a typical salad dish of the Spanish and Sicilian cuisine, which uses oranges as its main ingredient. It is usually served at the beginning or at the end of a meal.

In its most basic form the salad consists of thin, tart orange slices served with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. The slightly tart taste of a salad, which is usually achieved by using a vinaigrette, is instead provided by the orange slices themselves.

Common variations mix the orange slices with a few additional ingredients such as sliced fennel bulbs, onions, and black olives. In such cases often a vinaigrette is added as well, which is made with olive oil, white wine vinegar, salt, pepper, and various herbs, e.g. rosemary.
