    Orange Salad with Fetta

Notes

(NOTE 1) Oranges - Any variety of oranges will work, I used navel, blood and Cara Cara oranges. If preferred, you could just use one variety of orange for this salad.
(NOTE 2) Salad leaves - Oranges contain lots of juice, so it's a good idea to use salad leaves with low moisture content. I used baby spinach and rocket/arugula.
(NOTE 3) Marinated feta usually comes in small cubes packed in jars. It's marinated with herbs and spices, but you could use regular feta if preferred.
(NOTE 4) Sherry vinegar is not as acidic as most vinegar and has a nutty and slightly sweet flavour. You could substitute Sherry vinegar with white wine vinegar.
