Orange Salsa
Moroccan inspired and full of gorgeous citrus flavor …
Orange Salsa!
With a Middle Eastern flare, the Orange Salsa is the perfect accompaniment for Shredded Lamb Tacos. Taking my cue for this recipe from the traditional Moroccan orange and carrot salad, IÂ made sure that I incorporated all of the gorgeous flavors. This salsa is not only delicious with lamb but also taste beautiful with chicken or pork.
I wanted to show off the aromatic flavor of the navel oranges, so they stood on their own and would merry well with the fresh ingredients. I decided to roast the orange segments generously drizzled with honey before I added in the rest of the ingredients, it turned out to be oh so gorgeous. The aroma wafting through the house, the flavor in abundance and my mouth singing their praises.
Oh yes, it’s good!
