I love the combination of black olives and oranges, the flavors blend so well and are so satisfying. This colorful salad is light, sweet and acidic, and pairs extremely well with shrimps and other seafoods. It’s the perfect salad to celebrate the end of the summer with a cold glass of iced tea and great friends.
