Steps:

• 1. Peel and remove pith and seeds from 3 or more Navel oranges. Slice into 1/4 inch slices, and spread them in a single layer, filling a circular plate. Sprinkle Extra Virgin Olive Oil on each Orange (be generous, but don't drown them)! Sprinkle lightly with salt and go a little heavy on the pepper. Cover with Saran or plastic wrap, and refrigerate for several hours before serving!
• 2. OPTIONAL: You can sprinkle a small amount dry Oregeno on top for contrast/flavor if desired.

GRANDMA'S ORANGE SALAD

Steps:

• 1. First drain juice off of the pineapple chunks and Mandarin oranges in a strainer to make sure all excess juice is drained.
• 2. Then in a large mixing bowl gently combine all ingredients by hand with wooden spoon (if you use a mixer the fruit will break and you don't want this).
• 3. Depending on how you want to serve this is what you do next. If you want to portion this out put it in your desired dishes. If this is for a gathering or pot luck kinda setting, leave in bowl but cover. Either way put it in the refrigerator for at least one hour.
• 4. This is perfect for making the night before something. And the ideal light dessert that makes you think your eating something you shouldn't.
• 5. This definitely has a shelf life though. It really only lasts a few days before it starts to get runny. So eat up!
