Tips:

Choose the right oranges. For this salad, you'll want to use oranges that are sweet and juicy, such as navel oranges or Valencia oranges. Avoid oranges that are sour or bitter.
Segment the oranges carefully. To avoid getting pith in your salad, use a sharp knife to cut away the peel and white pith from the oranges. Then, use your fingers to gently separate the orange segments.
Make the dressing ahead of time. The dressing for this salad can be made up to 24 hours in advance. This will give the flavors time to meld together.
Chill the salad before serving. This will help the flavors to develop and the salad will be more refreshing.
Garnish the salad with fresh mint or cilantro. This will add a pop of color and flavor to the salad.

Conclusion:

This layered orange salad is a delicious and refreshing side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. With its sweet and tangy flavor, this salad is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
