Cutting an orange may seem like a straight forward task, but there’s more than one way to slice one up. Whether you’re a fan of orange wedges or segments there are multiple ways to use orange slices to zhuzh up any dish or snack.
Sure, eating HoneyBells or Cara Cara oranges out of the palm of your hand is refreshing, but here are three ways to cut an orange that can transform your favorite citrus fruit for multiple uses.
Segmented for easy enjoyment
First up is segmenting. This easy two-step process gives you bite-sized snacks that are perfect in salads or smoothie bowls. The juice can be saved to make salad dressing or to add to your morning juice blend.
Slices of color
Next up is slicing. Orange slices look stunning arranged in a fruit salad or on a pile of greens. You can also spruce up sandwiches with a few slices for an extra citrus-y shot of flavor.
A wedge of pure flavor
Last, but certainly not least, is the classic cut: the wedge. Orange wedges hold their shape in a lunch box, no matter how rough the terrain is on the way to school or work. They’re the perfect way to end your lunch break or to enjoy as a midday snack.
