What Are Blood Oranges?

Blood oranges are a variety of orange, which have a deep dark purple interior, much like blood. They taste like a regular orange, however the color is different.

They are sweet and fresh tasting, like a classic navel orange. They are in season in winter, like most citrus fruits, and you can typically find them in grocery stores from December through April.

What’s In Blood Orange Salad Dressing?

See the recipe card below for full ingredient amounts and recipe instructions!

• Good Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• Sunflower Oil: our go-to oil for everything, it has a neutral mild flavor, great for salad dressings. It’s also high oleic, which makes it one of the best oils for roasting at high temperatures.
• Blood Orange Juice
• Apple Cider Vinegar: which gives this dressing a little extra tang!  I think it gives a nice extra sweetness and depth.
• Granulated Sugar
• Fresh Garlic
• Pinch Of Salt
