Steemit Iron Chef 2018 Act1 Round1 - Salad of olives and oranges and Olivada
I grew up between two cultures the Spanish and the Italian and in both the olives are an important part in family recipes
For the salad:
3 oranges
1/2 cup sliced ripe black olives
1/4 cup sliced almonds
1/2 small red onion, cut into thin slices
1/4 cup of pomegranate seeds
10 mint leaves, whole leaf or sliced
For the dressing:
2 tablespoons lemon juice, freshly squeezed
1 tablespoon orange juice, freshly squeezed
2 tablespoons extra virgin Spanish olive oil
A pinch of pepper or cayenne (optional)
A pinch of sea salt
Make the dressing by mixing the lemon juice, orange juice, olive oil, spicy paprika if used, and sea salt in a bowl. Pour dressing liberally over the salad and serve at room temperature.
La Olivada has an infinite number of uses such as spread on hot bread with a bed of goat cheese, or grilled vegetables a spoonful, or spread on a sandwich.
1 cup of ripe black olives, boneless
1 can of Spanish anchovies packed in oil
2 tablespoons capers in brine, drained
1 cloves of garlic
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
Spanish extra virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons of good quality sherry vinegar
1 tablespoon lemon zest
Your salad looks delicious - I grew up in a Greek home - so raised on olives. Definitely going to give your recipe a try @gladysstillwagon. Have followed you
Beautiful lady is an honor to read your comment because I follow you and I love your recipes and what you say about that Mediterranean flavor is very characteristic of Greece and although I grew up in Mexico my family on both sides cooked with that flavor its Spanish and Italian essence.
Thank you very much for your comment

Wow, I never would have thought to mix olives and mint, or olives and almonds. I'll definitely try that combination sometime! Thanks!

Really love your orange intervention in this recipe!
It is very refreshing and the dressing can be used for all kinds of salads because it is very light.
