Orange-Mint Salad---
This salad was inspired by one of my kids commenting that “oranges are so every day.” My mom remembers when oranges were a treat. I love oranges, so I wanted to make something a little different. I’m also enjoying using our abundant spearmint while it is still fresh from the garden.
Thinly slice several spearmint leaves, to taste.
Mix in some brown sugar, to taste. I used a bit too much for our tastes, about ½ T.
Peel and chunk oranges. I used two California navels. You can see the effect of the brown sugar in the difference.
This was sweet and tangy and not too juicy. My kids thought it was “ok.”
