It\u2019s one of the easiest, quickest, most colorful and flavorful recipes you can bring to the table, one of the many delights that Sicilian cuisine offers. It requires very few ingredients: to prepare it you need tasty oranges, black olives, Tropea red onion, fresh fennel, and mint. Of course it is finished with salt, black pepper and strictly extra virgin olive oil. Since all elements are raw, the key is the ingredients: everything depends on their freshness and the sweet\/salty contrast. In Sicily orange salad is served as an appetizer, but also as a side dish with both meat and fish, since its acidity and freshness help refresh and cleanse the palate. As with all traditional recipes, every family makes it their own; this is my version tasted in Marzamemi, a small fishing village in southern Sicily. It is usually enriched with black olives and Tropea onion but also anchovies or sardines preserved in salt or oil; not to mention the \"del Grillo\" version which includes raisins. It doesn't matter which ingredients you want to add to your Sicilian orange salad as long as they are of quality\u2014the result depends on it. Obviously the best time to prepare it is when oranges are in season, from November to April for the later varieties: the best are Sanguinella, Tarocco or Ribera varieties."}
