Come winter, I crave fresh citrus. The cherry on top of citrus season is the blood orange with it’s bold colour and flavour. This week I learned a new term for something I’ve been doing for years. To supreme. It is how you cut the orange for this recipe. You remove the peel by cutting the top and bottom of the orange flat then gliding the knife from top to bottom all around until peeled. Then you slice on an angle each segment so if falls gently out of each section. I like to squeeze whatever is left in my hands after going around the whole orange either into my mouth or into the salad dressing.
A simple winter salad. The tang of the blood orange and the richness of the avocado are a perfect match.

Post Review
Blood oranges are my favorite seasonal citrus!
Me too! They’re such a treat.
This looks yummy! I love the color and all the fresh ingredients.
When you first cut into a blood orange the colour can be a bit disconcerting if you are not used to it, but on the salad it’s pretty.
Yum! This sounds wonderful. Such a great idea to brighten up wintertime meals. Avocados are my favorite, so I love finding new recipes that include them.
I love the richness of the avocado with the acid of the orange. It’s a match made “on earth” ;).
The color of a blood orange draws me in first and then I get a taste and wow! Thanks for the inspiration to get those in my salads!
Yes! The color is a bit wild, and the flavour is soo good, a little richer than a typical orange I think. More depth of flavour.
I love this type of salad, so fresh and flavorful!
Me too…especially in the winter when we’re eating lots more hearty greens.
