Ingredients:

• 3-4 valencia oranges, peeled and sliced into rounds or segments
• 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
• 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, torn or chopped
• 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
• 1/4 cup chopped walnuts
• Salt and pepper, to taste

For the dressing:

• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 1 teaspoon honey (adjust to taste)

Instructions:

1. In a large bowl, combine the sliced navel oranges, red onion, and torn mint leaves.

3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, orange zest, and orange juice until well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
4. Drizzle the dressing over the orange and onion mixture. Gently toss the salad to coat everything evenly with the dressing.
5. Let the salad sit for about 10-15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
