I got turned on to blood oranges just last summer and love them. This sounds like a great salad. Thanks for sharing Chef, you have my 5.


Sounds tasty and healthy! Very nice flavors going on here! Thanks for another great post!


The dressing sounds good. Could you use it over other types of salad? I am not much for fennel.


Yum, sounds wonderful! The dressing must have an unique taste.
