Preparation of Arugula and Orange Salad

Peel the oranges to remove the white pith and then cut them into slices no thicker than half a centimeter.
Once you have cut the slices, take the plates on which you will serve the salad and make a bed of arugula on which you will lay the orange slices.
Using the peeler, cut some slivers from the Grana cheese.
Then place the Grana slices on the salad to which you will also add the black olives in brine that you have drained well in a strainer.
Now all that’s left is to dress the salad with olive oil, a pinch of salt, and a grind of fresh pepper to taste.
And voilà… your arugula and orange salad is ready to serve.
