β€’ 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil (I used Early Harvest Greek EVOO)

1. Prepare the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, olive oil, honey, and a splash of orange blossom water. Set the mixture aside.
2. Soak the onions: Place the sliced onions in a bowl filled with ice water. Let them sit for 5-10 minutes, then drain and pat dry.
3. Assemble the salad: On a serving platter, sprinkle half of the chopped mint leaves. Layer the orange slices and onions on top, and season with a pinch of salt, a dash of sweet paprika, and a hint of cinnamon. Scatter the pomegranate seeds over the top.
4. Add the dressing: Drizzle or spoon the dressing over the salad, using as much or as little as desired.
5. Finish with mint: Garnish with the remaining fresh mint leaves. Allow the salad to sit for about 5 minutes before serving.
