1 tbsp Red Onion (you can also use any type of onion--yellow if you prefer a milder flavour)
1 clove Garlic, smashed and minced
1/2 cup Tangerine sections

If you're not in a hurry, you can stick this in the fridge for an hour or so to allow the flavours to mingle.And Voila! Easy Peasy!Number of Servings: 4Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user MO-MARY.
