Method

Prepare the Orange.
Start by washing the orange thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt or residues. Then, peel the orange carefully by removing the skin and the white pith underneath, as it can be bitter. After peeling, slice the orange into thin rounds or segments, whichever you prefer.
Tip: Use a sharp knife to peel and slice the orange carefully to avoid wasting the juicy flesh. -
Prepare the Walnuts.
Take the walnuts and place them on a cutting board. Using a knife, roughly chop them into smaller pieces. This will help distribute their flavor evenly and add a nice crunch to the salad.
Tip: If you prefer, you can toast the walnuts lightly in a dry pan over medium heat for 2-3 minutes to enhance their flavor. Let them cool before chopping. -
Combine Ingredients.
Place the sliced orange in a bowl or on a plate. Sprinkle the chopped walnuts evenly over the top. You can gently toss them together or leave the walnuts on top for a pretty presentation.
Tip: Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh texture and flavors.
Pro tips
- For extra flavor, drizzle a little honey or a sprinkle of cinnamon over the salad.
- Use fresh, high-quality walnuts for the best taste and crunch.
