Prepare the Orange.
Wash the orange thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt or residues. Using your hands or a knife, peel the orange carefully, removing all the skin and white pith. Separate the orange into individual segments for easy eating.
Tip: Peeling the orange over a bowl can catch any juice that drips, which you can drink or add to other recipes. -
Measure the Almonds.
Using a kitchen scale, measure out 1 ounce (28.4 grams) of raw almonds. If you don’t have a scale, a small handful usually approximates this amount.
Tip: If you prefer, you can lightly toast the almonds in a dry pan over medium heat for 2-3 minutes to enhance their flavor, but this step is optional. -
Serve and Enjoy.
Place the peeled orange segments on a plate or bowl and add the measured almonds on the side. This snack is ready to eat immediately.
Tip: For a refreshing twist, chill the orange segments in the refrigerator before serving.
Pro tips
- To easily peel an orange, roll it gently on the countertop with your palm to loosen the skin.
- Store almonds in an airtight container in a cool, dry place to keep them fresh longer.
