My grandmother used to make a salad similar to this, with oranges, cured black olives, onions, olive oil and garlic. It is in Pompeii's honor that I post this recipe.
Thank you, Grandma for having me in your kitchen while you, aunt Char and grandpa Elmer made cannoli shells!

Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
