Moroccan orange salad is a common citrus side dish with grilled meats and tagines. Oranges, Tangerines and grapefruits are common. This light and refreshing salad was made with oranges, red onion and pitted black olives. On its own is great but the addition of the dressing made of olive oil, lime juice a little salt, cumin seeds and a dash of paprika was outstanding. Garnish with a little fresh cilantro and in minutes you have a super Moroccan orange salad to enjoy. This is a wonderful dish any time of year but especially refreshing served cold in summertime.
