Choose a peppery salad leaf like arugula. I usually use half arugula and half baby spinach. Mix things up by using Seville oranges, or even beautiful blood oranges.
Ingredients
1 orange ½ red onion 4tsp olive oil ½ tsp mustard pinch of salt and pepper salad leaves a handful of mint and/or flat leaf parsley- Cut the peel off the orange taking take to remove all the white pith.
