The term "belly button" is a colloquial and commonly used term for the navel, which is the small, rounded scar on the abdomen where the umbilical cord was attached during fetal development. It is also known as the umbilicus.

The word "belly" refers to the abdomen or the front part of the human body, and "button" is used metaphorically to describe something small and rounded. So, when you put the two words together, "belly button" simply means the small, rounded part on the belly or abdomen.

The navel or belly button is a unique and defining feature of mammals, including humans. It serves as a remnant of our early development in the womb, where the umbilical cord connected the fetus to the placenta, allowing the exchange of nutrients and waste products between the developing fetus and the mother. After birth, the umbilical cord is cut, leaving behind the scar we now call the belly button.

Tips:

    For a sweeter salad, use blood oranges instead of navel oranges.
    If you don't have feta cheese, you can use goat cheese or Parmesan cheese instead.
    You can also add other ingredients to the salad, such as chopped walnuts, almonds,
    or dried cranberries.

This salad is a great light lunch or dinner option. It is also a refreshing side dish
for grilled chicken or fish.
