Capers & Orange Salad
Posted on Aug 19, 2024 by admin in Starters and Salads |
Capers are the unripened green buds of a bush that grows wild in the Mediterranean and certain parts of Asia. Since they are not cultivated all over the world, they are pickled in brine and available in most gourmet stores. Ice burg lettuce and oranges with a delicious orange and olive oil dressing are used in this unusual salad.
