Blood Orange Salad with Cashew Goat Cheese and Pistachio
Blood Oranges are so good and so beautiful. I really love every year when they come in season as it always inspires me to make something seasonal and fresh.
I really love this salad and I even bulk it up sometimes with some arugula. The cashew goat cheese and pistachios really tie it all in together.
