Tips:

  • To segment the tangerines, use a sharp knife to cut off the top and bottom of the fruit. Then, score the peel vertically, being careful not to cut into the flesh. Peel off the skin and remove any remaining white pith. Separate the segments from the membrane and discard the seeds.
  • If you don't have any red onion, you can substitute white onion or shallots.
  • For a milder flavor, soak the red onion in cold water for 10 minutes before adding it to the salad.
  • If you want to add a bit of sweetness to the salad, try adding a tablespoon of honey or agave nectar to the dressing.
  • For a more tangy salad, add a tablespoon of rice vinegar or lemon juice to the dressing.
  • This salad is best served fresh, but it will keep in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

Conclusion:

This tangerine and red onion salad is a refreshing and flavorful side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a healthy and delicious salad, give this one a try!
