Ingredients
- 2 oranges zest half of one orange for the vinaigrette
- 1 cucumber slices into ribbons
- 10 to 20 mint leaves
- ½ cup olive oil
- 2 teaspoons honey
- 1 lemon zested and juiced
Instructions
- In a jar with a tight seal lid, prepare the citrus vinaigrette by adding the olive oil, honey, lemon zest, zest of the orange, and lemon juice. Shake well and set aside.
- Over a bowl, remove the peel and the white part of the orange. You should have the pulp showing attached to the internal membranes. With a sharp small utility knife, slice down between the orange pulp and the white membrane. Do so for the whole orange. Make sure all the juices are collected into the bowl.
- Add your cucumber ribbons to your orange juice and orange slices, add the mint and the citrus vinaigrette.
- Mix well and serve.
Notes
- Start by making the citrus vinaigrette first.
- To save the juice from the oranges, use a large bowl where you can separate the orange segments and all the juices are collected into the container.
