1 small red onion, sliced thin
2 tablespoons raspberry vinegar (or fresh lemon juice)
6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 dash salt, to taste

4 tablespoons golden raisins (soaked, covered in hot water for 20 minutes, then drained)
20 black olives, pitted
2 tablespoons sunflower seeds
2 tablespoons almonds, blanched, chopped fine

Remove white pith from oranges & cut the fruit crosswise into 1/4-inch slices. Arrange on a serving platter & scatter the sliced onion over the orange slices. In a small bowl, whisk together vinegar, olive oil, salt & pepper, then spoon this dressing over the slices of onion & orange. Sprinkle with raisins, olives, sunflower seeds & almonds. Garnish with mint sprigs & chill before serving.
