- Pour the dressing over the salad. Cover with plastic and set aside for 20 min to allow the flavors to blend. Serve immediately.
- OPTIONS: Segment the oranges instead of slicing them. Arrange over the sliced tomatoes, along with sliced radishes in place of the onion. Use the same dressing.
- NOTES : The flavor of blood orange reminds some people of raspberries. While they grow in California, the blood oranges which come from Sicily between December and May are considered the best. Anthocyannis, that stain blood oranges red, along with the lycopene in tomatoes and curcumin in the spices of this salad are all cancer-preventive phytochemicals. This salad is simple to prepare. Its lush, Moroccan flavor will make you want to serve it regularly. Use naval oranges when you cannot get blood oranges.
- They are very sweet and have more depth than their cousins. almost a berry flavor but the eyes might be influencing which description.
