Came across this recipe last night, while Gather was up-grading. It seems appropriate for this week's Rainbow Connection - Colorful Competition's orange and black theme ...

from Eating Well Magazine, September/October 1992

5 oranges

1/3 cup chopped fresh mint

2 Tbsp. chopped pitted black olives

1 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil (EVOO)

1 clove garlic, minced

1/2 tsp. ground coriander

Pinch sugar

Salt to taste

Romaine or spinach leaves

With a sharp knife, remove skin & pith from oranges and discard. Working over a bowl, cut orange segments from the membranes into the bowl. Add mint, olives, oil, garlic, coriander and sugar. Season with salt and toss gently. Serve on romaine or spinach.
