This salad is a great way to use up leftover oranges. It's also a great side dish for grilled chicken or fish.

This is the perfect summer salad - light, refreshing, and packed with flavor. I love the contrast between the sweet oranges and the sharp shallots.

I've made this salad several times now, and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The dressing is light and tangy, and the shallots add a nice bite. I like to add a handful of chopped walnuts for extra crunch.
