Limoneira Blood Orange Spring Salad with Blue Cheese and Pecans

March 29, 2017 By Elizabeth@ Pine Cones and Acorns 7 Comments

Good morning! How was your weekend? Mine was fabulous because I got to spend it with my mother. We stayed home, sat by the fire, read magazines, watched movies, talked and enjoyed one anothers’ company. All in all a very relaxing and restful weekend. 

Recently I made this scrumptious salad using blood oranges that I received from Limoneira.   I love citrus fruit but typically only eat it as a snack. But when I was asked by  Limoneira if I would like to try a few different kinds of their oranges I though perhaps I would try a few new recipes as well. This blood orange salad was one of the things I came up with. 

Blood Orange Salad with Blue Cheese and Pecans

Serves 2 

1 blood oranges peeled and sliced

11/2 handfuls of spinach

11/2handfuls of spring mix

1/4 of a small red onion sliced in rings

1/4 cup toasted pecans

2 ounces of blue cheese

In a large bowl mix the salad greens then arrange on plate, add onion rings. Sprinkle with toasted pecans and blue cheese, then arrange orange slices. Drizzle with dressing. 

Maple Vinaigrette Dressing

3 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons white balsamic vinegar

3 teaspoons apple cider vinegar

1 teaspoon maple syrup

Place olive oil, balsamic vinegar, apple cider vinegar and maple syrup with salt and pepper to taste in a screw top jar and shake to combine. 

This salad is refreshing and a great recipe to add to your Spring table. The sweet blood oranges, with the creamy, slightly salty blue cheese and the crunchy nuts are a delicious combination. 

I hope that you have a great day!

    Hi Elizabeth… I think that people either love blue cheese or hate it. I LOVE it – this salad looks fabulous. Have a wonderful rest of the week.
