Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 cup good oil-cured black olives, pitted
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (optional)
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil, more as needed
4 navel oranges, peeled and sliced into rounds
Fennel seeds

Steps:

  • In a food processor, combine olives and thyme, if using, with a bit of olive oil. Pulse machine once or twice, then turn it on and add remaining olive oil rather quickly; you want this purée on the rough side. Thin with more olive oil if necessary. (You can refrigerate this for up to a month.)
  • Layer 3 or 4 orange slices on each plate, drizzle with a little more olive oil, top with a tablespoon of olive purée and sprinkle with a few fennel seeds.

This salad is so easy to make and it's always a crowd-pleaser. I love that I can make it ahead of time and it still tastes great.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover oranges. I always have a few oranges in my fridge, so this is a go-to recipe for me.

Not a fan of olives, but this salad was surprisingly good. The oranges and dressing really balanced out the olive flavor.

This salad was a bit too tart for my taste. I think I'll try adding some honey to the dressing next time.
