Insalata di Arance

Insalata di Arance, also known as Orange Salad, is a dish with, you guessed it, oranges as the main ingredient. It is typically made by slicing or segmenting fresh oranges and combining them with other ingredients such as olives, fennel, red onion, and parsley. The salad is dressed with olive oil and lemon juice and is often finished with a sprinkle of salt and pepper. The salad is typically served as a side dish or as an appetizer, and it is a great way to enjoy the freshness and flavor of oranges. The combination of sweet and savory flavors and the crunchy texture of the fennel and the olives make this salad a delicious and refreshing dish.
