Orange and Seed Salad

This salad is a burst of vitamin C and crunchy textures. The juiciness of the citrus orange pairs perfectly with the richness of the healthy fats in the seeds, creating a refreshing dish that works as both a starter and an exotic side. To highlight the citrus sweetness and balance the acidity without adding sodium, we will use Bonsalt 0%.

Professional Step-by-Step Preparation

1. Technical orange cutting: Peel the oranges "supreme," removing all the white pith. Cut them into thin slices or cleanly remove the segments with a knife. Reserve any juice they release for the vinaigrette.

2. Onion treatment: Cut the red onion into very thin slivers. If you prefer a milder flavor, soak them in cold water for 5 minutes and drain well.

3. Toasting the seeds: In a small skillet without oil, lightly toast the seed mix over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until they begin to pop or release their aroma. This will enhance their flavor.

4. Vegetable base: Place the baby spinach on a platter and arrange the orange slices and red onion on top in a balanced way.

5. Citrus vinaigrette: In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, and the reserved orange juice. Add a pinch of pepper and a generous amount of Bonsalt 0%. Emulsify with a fork.

6. Final touch: Dress the salad with the vinaigrette, sprinkle over the toasted seeds, and garnish with a few chopped fresh mint leaves for an extra burst of aroma.
