Total time: 6 min • Prep: 6 min • Cook: 0 min • Serves: 4 • Difficulty: Easy
If you'd like, bring an abundance of color to your meal by substituting yellow tomatoes for the red and place the stacks on a red or green lettuce leaf. Be sure to choose ripe tomatoes the same size as the peeled oranges to make evenly balanced stacks. Don’t refrigerate this salad or the tomatoes before assembling because the cold damages the flavor and texture of tomatoes. If you'd prefer, use chilled oranges instead. Treat these stacks like a salad, and serve them as a dramatic first course to any of our two-ingredient dough pizzas. It'll only take 10 minutes to bring a sophisticated twist to your pizza night.
