Equipment

Ingredients

3 oranges, peeled and sliced (I cut my slices into quarters)
1 cucumber, peeled and sliced (I used an English cucumber so kept the peel and sliced it into half moons)
1/2 green bell pepper, sliced or chopped (I used red instead)
1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
3 tablespoons cider vinegar, I substituted rice vinegar
1 teaspoon canola oil
1/2 teaspoon sugar, I substituted Truvia
1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

In a medium bowl, combine the oranges, cucumber, pepper and onion.
Add the vinegar, oil, sugar and salt.
Toss to coat and combine.
Serve at once.

This simple salad is incredibly flexible.

Try adding:

Fresh mint
Chopped parsley
Feta cheese
Avocado
Thinly sliced fennel
Toasted almonds or pistachios

I often use red bell pepper instead of green because I prefer its sweeter flavor and brighter color.

The salad is best served the day it's made, while the oranges and cucumbers are at their freshest.
