  • You can also add some toasted almonds or crumbled feta cheese for extra flavor and texture.
  • For a sweeter twist, you can use blood oranges instead of regular oranges.
  • If you're making the salad ahead of time, keep the dressing separate and toss it with the salad just before serving to prevent the ingredients from getting soggy.

Storage and Serving

  • This salad is best served immediately after preparing to maintain its crispness.
  • If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
  • To serve the leftovers, you can refresh the salad by adding some fresh orange segments and a drizzle of fresh vinaigrette.
