The flavour of a blood orange is sweeter and less tart than what you’d expect from an ordinary orange and may have hints of raspberry or sometimes a slightly bitter edge that you’d usually find in grapefruit.
Combine olive oil, blood orange juice, red wine vinegar, honey, mustard, salt, and pepper in a blender
Process until well combined and smooth
Pour over a salad of your choice that has segments of blood orange toseed through it
Notes
Blood oranges will keep for a week in a bowl on the counter or up to three weeks in the fridgeTry flavouring bread crumbs with blood orange zest, grated parmesan cheese and thyme. Use on chicken breasts or fish before frying or grilling in the oven.
