Mediterranean Orange Salad

Happy Monday Everybody and I’m here to share this gorgeous 3 Minutes Mediterranean Orange Salad (Glutenfree) recipe with you’ll.

It’s been so hot since the past two days that I can totally feel Spring knocking on our doors.

As you might have seen my last few posts have been all about ‘Indian desserts’ or some entree and could you believe that I’ve never posted a single salad recipe till date !!!

I mean I couldn’t believe it as I eat so much salad on a regular basis.

Hence, I decided to start with one of my most favorite salad recipe that seriously is so easy to make that it’s really tough to get it wrong 😉

Mediterranean Orange Salad Ingredients:

  • 2 Medium Oranges – peeled
  • 2 Sprigs of Fresh Mint
  • 3 Tbsp Feta Cheese
  • 2 Tbsp Walnuts – chopped
  • Salt – as per taste
  • Pepper – as per taste

Citrus Vinaigrette :

  • 2 Tbsp Olive Oil
  • Juice of 1/2 Large Orange
  • 1 Tsp Honey
  • 1 Tsp Fresh Lemon juice

 

3 Minutes Mediterranean Orange Salad recipe

So, what do you do when you literally want to eat healthy, delicious and a quick dish?

You make this ‘3 Minutes Mediterranean Orange Salad (Glutenfree)’ and just let all these cravings do the talking.

It’s a great mix of sweet + a little bit of savory from the feta cheese.

I still remember the first time I had a similar salad in some restaurant in Los Angles, it just blew my mind.

It was so fresh and light, however, the only thing I wanted to change then was the combination of greens added to the salad – it was just way too much and overpowering the entire deliciousness.

So, I decided to make my light version with bare minimum ingredients and also ingredients that actually enhance each other.

How to Make Mediterranean Orange Salad

If you’re vegan or avoiding cheese, you can totally skip that ingredient.

And you need to trust me, when you combine all these ingredients together, the flavor is simply outstanding.

The only seasoning that I’ve added is salt and pepper and you’re good to go.

This salad is good for 2 people and can be made within 3 minutes – Seriously can you think of something as delicious and flavorful in that time?

So, get the ingredients, make the light vinegarette, assemble the salad and share it with someone you love or simply eat it all on your own.

The only thing I would suggest is that this salad cannot be made too much ahead of time as the sliced oranges start becoming mushy.

But you can definitely make the vinaigrette a night before and keep in the fridge.

  • Heather March 16, 2017 (12:27 am)

    Girl, you had me at ‘orange’!! What a lovely recipe. Mint is one of my favorite flavors yet I often don’t know what to do with it or how to add it into a recipe.. adding it to the orange and the creamy feta and the little walnut crunchies.. this is the perfect springtime refresher!!

  • Kylee from Kylee Cooks March 15, 2017 (1:43 pm)

    Looks amazing, Molly – would you serve this as an appetizer, or a dessert? It could go either way!!

  • Sandhya Ramakrishnan March 14, 2017 (10:26 pm)

  • Veena Azmanov March 14, 2017 (11:20 am)

    I love how vibrant that orange looks. I’ve only eaten oranges on their own or in a veggies salad – never with feta cheese and stuff. How cool. Love it Molly. Can’t wait to try

    • Molly Kumar March 16, 2017 (9:01 am)

      Thanks Veena. I know most of us have been eating oranges just like that for ages but this version just leaves me speechless everytime 🙂

  • Adriana Lopez Martn March 14, 2017 (4:29 am)

    I love oranges I actually live in Florida and I can get pretty good citrus in my area. Great fresh idea to pair with almost anything.

    • Molly Kumar March 14, 2017 (5:24 am)

      Hi Adriana, Thanks so much and yeh, it just pairs so well with another or can eaten as a small snack too.

    • Molly Kumar March 14, 2017 (5:56 am)

      Absolutely. It’s been so warm here the past whole week that it was perfect to have this Orange Salad 🙂

  • Just Jo March 13, 2017 (8:15 pm)

    It’s been shockingly hot here in Yorkshire the past couple of days (to the extent I was wondering this morning if we’ve skipped Spring and gone straight to Summer this year lol). This salad would be absolutely perfect to cool and refresh me – thanks for sharing the recipe (and beautiful photos :D)

    • Molly Kumar March 14, 2017 (6:19 am)

      Seriously, it’s been crazy here too with extreme rains to very hot temperature right now. I’m so glad you liked the recipe + pics 🙂 Thanks for visiting Jo 🙂
