Ingredients
- 2 blood oranges, peeled, pith removed and sliced crosswise ¼ inch thick
- 2 Cara Cara or Navel oranges, peeled, pith removed and sliced crosswise ¼ inch thick
- 2 tablespoons fresh mint leaves, chopped

- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons fresh Ricotta Salata, crumbled (or 8 thin slices, divided)
Instructions
- Layer the orange slices in alternating colors on a large plate or a couple of small plates.
- Top the layered oranges with chopped mint, pistachios, and sliced red onions on the plate(s).

- Place a pile of arugula on top of the layered oranges and top with the crumbled ricotta cheese and additional freshly ground black pepper if desired.
Notes
Note: If you can’t find fresh Ricotta Salata cheese, you can also substitute another tangy sheep’s milk cheese such as Manchego or Aged Pecorino Romano. Fresh sliced Mozzarella or Burrata cow’s milk cheese could also substitute nicely for a milder flavor.
