Start the week off right with a healthy salad!

I have been craving something light and fresh so when I saw this salad from Williams Sonoma, I had to make it! Blood oranges and navel oranges combined with red onion and Marcona almonds make the most delicious combination and fresh mint adds just the right flavor to finish! This salad comes together so easily…the hardest part is taking the peel and pith off the oranges, but it’s really important not to leave the pith because it has a bitter taste. Be sure to toast your almonds to get the most flavor…you might want to toast a few extra almonds to snack on while you’re making the salad because they are irresistible!

This salad would also be delicious with crumbled goat cheese sprinkled over for a light lunch. It’s an ideal first course for a richer entree such as pasta or something with a cream sauce! Citrus is at it’s best this time of the year and a little extra vitamin C in the winter is always a good idea! If you can’t find blood oranges, feel free to substitute more navel oranges or Cara Cara oranges, or a combination of all three!

I love beautiful food and this is one of the most gorgeous salads…perfect for a dinner party!

Just a few announcements…

I’m using a new recipe card format that includes video so I hope you enjoy it! I’ll try to make a video each time so you can see exactly how the food is prepared!

I’m going live on Facebook every Tuesday and Sunday evening…around 5:30. I always post an announcement on my page to let you know the exact time. I hope you’ll join me for a little weekly inspiration!

Be sure to take a look at my Amazon Shop as I’m adding new things for Spring! A little home refresh always makes those last weeks of winter more bearable!

Thank you so much for reading today! Happy Monday!
