This colorful and refreshing salad is a classic of Morocco. The harmony of flavors of orange and onion is surprising and quite delicious. I serve it with grilled chicken, pork or lamb. If you use an unsweetened onion, let it soak in cold water for 15 minutes before using.

Using a small paring knife, cut away the peel and pith from the oranges, exposing the flesh. Thinly slice the oranges and scatter on two dessert plates.
