Description

The combination of citrus and olives—both green and black—is traditional in Moroccan cuisine. While oranges are typically used in such a salad, the version with tangerines is more fragrant and sweet.

Ingredients

Mandarins - 4 pieces
Kalamata olives - 3.5 oz
Boston Salad - 1 piece
Olive Oil - 2 fl oz
Champagne Vinegar - 1 tablespoon
Ground Cumin - ½ spoons
Paprika - ¼ spoons
Cayenne Pepper - 0,1 teaspoons
Parsley - 3 stalks
Salt - to taste
Ground Black Pepper - to taste

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Peel the mandarins using a small sharp knife or even without any tools at all. Sweet Moroccan mandarins are usually easy to peel.

Step 2

Peel the segments of the mandarins from the white membranes and place the pulp in a bowl along with the olives, halved (you can use other large olives instead of the 'Kalamata' variety).

Step 3

Whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, cumin, paprika, and cayenne pepper until smooth, then toss with the mixture of tangerines and olives, stir well, and season with salt and ground black pepper.

Step 4

Tear the lettuce leaves into large pieces and arrange them on plates, then top with mandarins and olives. Sprinkle the finished salad with finely chopped parsley leaves.
