remaining oranges and slice into 1/4-inch-thick rounds.
3. Shortly before serving, arrange orange slices in a fan pattern on a large plate.
4. Drain the onions, pat dry and tuck here and there among the orange slices.

orange juice, scatter olives over it and sprinkle with olive oil. Taste for seasoning.
