Recipe information

  • Yield

    serves 4

Ingredients

4 navel oranges
1/4 cup Niçoise olives, pitted and halved
1/2 teaspoon paprika
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley, plus whole leaves for garnish

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Using a sharp knife, slice off both ends of each orange. Carefully slice downward following the curve of the fruit to remove rind and bitter white pith. Slice each orange crosswise into about six rounds, then arrange them in overlapping rows on a serving platter. Sprinkle evenly with olives.

    Step 2

    In a small bowl, combine paprika and lemon juice; whisk in oil until emulsified. Add chopped parsley, and whisk to combine. Drizzle dressing over oranges and olives; garnish with parsley leaves, and serve.
