Insalata di Arance (Sicilian Orange Salad)

Insalata di arance is an orange salad that has many iterations in Italian cuisine. In most recipes, the sweet tartness of the fresh fruit is balanced with the sharp bite of fennel or red onion. Other styles of this salad call for salty anchovies, walnuts or pine nuts, or the tang of vinegar. In Italy, insalata di arance is popularly eaten in the winter, when oranges are in season and locals welcome a boost of vitamin C to ward off illness.
