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

    Cup of Yum
  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Add your cucumber ribbons to your orange juice and orange slices, add the mint and the citrus vinaigrette.
  4. 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.
