Ingredients

1 navel orange

1/2 teaspoon sherry vinegar or red-wine vinegar

1/4 red onion, halved and very thinly sliced

Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper

1 tablespoon capers, rinsed and drained

1/4 cup brine-cured black olives, such as Kalamata or Gaeta, pitted and halved

3 cups loosely packed fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves (from about 2 bunches)

1/4 cup pine nuts, toasted (page 53)

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

Preparation

Step 1
With a vegetable peeler, remove 8 long pieces of zest from orange (leave bitter white pith behind); cut lengthwise into very thin strips. Halve orange; squeeze 2 tablespoons juice into a bowl (reserve remaining portion for another use). Add vinegar, onion, and a pinch of salt; let soak 10 minutes (or up to 24 hours; the longer it soaks, the milder its flavor will become).
Step 2
To orange juice mixture, add capers, olives, parsley, pine nuts, and zest. Season with pepper; toss thoroughly with oil. Divide among plates and serve immediately.
