🛒 Ingredients (Serves 2–4)
This fresh and zesty recipe uses Cuban Indra Oranges in a lightly spiced, honey-citrus dressing. It’s simple, elegant, and perfect for warm-weather meals.
✨ For the Orange Salad:
- 3–4 Cuban Indra Oranges, peeled and sliced into rounds
- 1 tablespoon fresh mint leaves, chopped
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon orange zest
- 1 tablespoon honey
- Pinch of sea salt
- Optional: a few pomegranate seeds for garnish
👩🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Oranges
Peel the Cuban Indra oranges carefully, removing as much of the white pith as possible. Slice them into 1/4-inch rounds and arrange them on a serving plate or shallow bowl.
🧡 Tip: Use a serrated knife for cleaner cuts and to retain more juice.
Step 2: Make the Dressing
In a small bowl, combine the honey, cinnamon, sea salt, and orange zest. Stir until well mixed. If your honey is too thick, warm it slightly to create a pourable consistency.
Step 3: Drizzle and Garnish
Pour the honey-citrus dressing evenly over the orange slices. Sprinkle chopped mint leaves over the top. For a pop of color and texture, add a few pomegranate seeds.
Step 4: Chill and Serve
Let the dish chill in the fridge for 10–15 minutes before serving to enhance the flavors. Serve cold as a light appetizer, palate cleanser, or healthy dessert.
