instructions
    1

    Start by preparing the oranges. Cut them in half and juice them, making sure to collect all the juice in a bowl.

    2

    Remove the peel from the remaining orange halves and chop the flesh into small, bite-sized pieces.

    3

    Chop the red onion finely. It should be small enough to mix well without overpowering the medley of flavors.

    4

    Finely chop the cilantro and jalapeño. If you prefer less heat, you can remove the seeds from the jalapeño before chopping.

    5

    In the bowl with the orange juice, combine the chopped orange pieces, red onion, cilantro, and jalapeño.

    6

    Add lime juice and salt to the mixture, stirring well to combine all ingredients.

    7

    Let the salsa rest for about 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

    8

    Serve your fresh Orange Salsa with tortilla chips or as a vibrant topping for grilled fish or chicken.
