Color, texture, flavor- this Turkish inspired Orange Salad with Onion, Avocado and Olives has it all. Sumac adds an intriguing fruity sour note. The cumin and thyme add earthiness; and the mint adds freshness. Orange Salad lends itself to multiple ways of serving. You can toss it together in a glass bowl so all the colors shine through. You can pre-plate it and have it on the table before your guests come in. You can layer it in clear glasses so that everyone can pick one up and eat it standing at a cocktail party. Last, but not least, you can deconstruct it and serve each ingredient separately at a make your own salad buffet. You could even have a bowl of diced feta to add to it. So many delicious options for such simple ingredients. For another salad using oranges: Endive, Blood Orange, Avocado and Chioggia Beet Salad
