This vibrant salad combines the zestiness of citrus with the savory touch of olives, creating a refreshing and flavorful dish.
Arrange the romaine lettuce leaves on a serving platter.
Ensure the lettuce is dry for a crisp texture.
Scatter the thinly sliced red onion and pitted black olives over the lettuce.
Slice the onions as thin as possible for a milder taste.
Peel the oranges, removing the white pith, and slice them into segments. Arrange these over the salad.
Use a sharp knife to easily remove the pith from the oranges.
In a small bowl, whisk together the juice of the lemon, sugar, ground cumin, smoked paprika, and olive oil to create the dressing.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning to your preference.
Drizzle the dressing evenly over the salad.
Pour the dressing just before serving to keep the salad fresh.
Garnish the salad with chopped flat leaf parsley.
Chop the parsley finely for a more even distribution.
Serve the salad immediately and enjoy its refreshing flavors.
Pair with a light white wine for a complete dining experience.
