2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
1-1/2 teaspoons freshly grated orange peel
1-1/2 teaspoons smoked paprika
1/4 teaspoon salt

Cook's Tip:  To cut orange segments, cut off both ends of orange with paring knife. Stand orange on 1 cut end and slice vertically (top to bottom) to remove peel and white pith in strips. Follow curve of orange with paring knife to remove as little flesh as possible. Cut each segment free by slicing down on both sides of surrounding membranes.
