A bowl of orange and feta salad with green olives served with crusty bread and olive oil

I’ve been making this orange, feta and olive salad for years now and I love it. The flavours are bold and it looks beautiful. It’s also really quick and easy to get on the table. My favourite time to eat this is a Saturday lunch time, preferably in the garden, with some toasted wholemeal pitta or crusty fresh bread on the side.

Lots of recipes that call for raw garlic seem to use a whole clove. My recipe states 1 clove of garlic but feel free to add as much or as little as you like. I love raw garlic in summery foods but I only ever add the tiniest bit, about ⅛ of the clove, that’s definitely enough for me. So do what you want here – follow your taste buds.

Now all we need is the sun to stay out…

Ingredients

  • 5 oranges (divided)
  • 4 large handfuls of rocket spinach or watercress, or any other dark leaved salad
  • 150 g feta (drained (1 cup crumbled))
  • 1 good handful of your favourite olives (I like to use green olives marinated in herbs and garlic)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (extra virgin if you have it)
  • A pinch of salt
  • 1 clove garlic (finely crushed)

Instructions

  • Peel and dice four of the oranges.
  • Combine the oranges, leaves and olives in a bowl.
  • Crumble the feta over the top of the salad.
  • Whisk together the juice of the final orange, the olive oil, salt and as much of the garlic as you like. Taste and adjust seasoning as necessary.
  • Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently.
  • Serve immediately.

Easy Summer Coleslaw. This fresh, light, summer coleslaw is a slaw that you will come back to again and again. Crunchy, but with none of the toughness of traditional coleslaw. The tangy lime dressing really makes the flavours sing.
