Salad with Blood Orange Vinaigrette Recipe | JustOneCookbook.com

This weekend is Memorial Day Weekend in the US and it’s a three day weekend.  Do you have a special plan?  We’ll be attending my husband’s high school friend’s wedding on Saturday.  We had other plans including visiting friends’ newborn twins but we had to postpone since our family is still sick.  Now that our schedule is wide open, I’m really hoping to relax and catch up on some stuff that I haven’t had a chance to do – like organizing my kids’ art work and developing pictures to make albums, catching up on my TV shows, and so on.  Since I started this website, I had to re-prioritize my time… so this weekend might be a good time to catch up.

I realized I haven’t posted a salad recipe for a while so today I’d like to share Blood Orange Vinaigrette recipe.  Maybe you can try this dressing for your Memorial Day weekend BBQ salad.  When I saw this salad dressing at Beth’s website at Beth Michelle last month, I immediately wanted to try.  I love citrus flavor in any kind of food, from dessert to dressing.  It’s very refreshing and my husband and I loved it.  It’s very simple to make and the blood orange looks pretty on the salad.  I hope you enjoy this refreshing vinaigrette.  Thank you Beth!

Lastly I would like to thank Pola from An Italian Cooking in the Midwest for passing me this award, and Tina from Pinay in Texas Cooking Corner for passing me this award and new award that Sandra from Sandra’s Easy Cooking recently created.  Thank you so much girls!

    • Thank you Sonia! Hmm? You were sick too? Did you recover from flu? I’m still struggling from this cold I have for a week. I feel so old when my body aches everywhere…. I hope you are totally recovered by now. 🙂

    • Oh yes Beth! We loved it. I also didn’t know blood oranges are pretty expensive, but we’ll buy just for this dressing!!! Thank you so much, and now I saw your post on Gourgeres and your mention on Rotunda’s popovers and strawberry butter… I really can’t let go of that taste and image. ARHHH!

  6. This vinaigrette is perfect for Spring or Summer salads! And it’s full of vitamin C! I hope it’ll help you all to feel better. The idea to serve it with orange slices is excellent too!
    Why do I always use vinegar or lemon juice in vinaigrette??? It must change!

    • Hi Sissi! Yes, orange is a great change from using lemons (although I love lemons too). Thank you so much for your kindness. I’m *still* sick and I’m so tired of being sick! I should have bought more oranges but I’m eating lots of fruits. I only wish I lose weight from this sickness but it doesn’t look like I’m losing any! >_<

      • I envy so much those who don’t have any appetite when sick! I always crave cakes, chocolate, deep-fried meat… so I totally understand you 🙂
        I hope you’ll feel better very soon and must say I’m impressed: even ill you prepare such wonderful meals, take perfect photos and write fantastic posts!

    • Hi Lyn! I have never heard of blood oranges when I was in Japan. I’m not sure if it exists there…maybe there is, and just expensive than regular oranges. This dressing is really good and I hope you can find the blood oranges. 🙂

  11. Hi Nami, I hope you are all doing better! I was suppose to already be chilling in the south of France today, but as the volcanic ash travel together with the french strikes, I’m still home. Hopefully tomorrow, I’ll be able to catch the flight!
    The salad looks so refreshing, love the citrus flavors! Have a nice weekend 🙂

  18. I am always on the lookout of new salad recipes because my husband adores almost any kind of salad. This sounds like a great salad for BBQ meat dishes!

    Btw Nami, I have some awards for you. Please pick them up when you do have the time :). And of course thank you for answering my question about inari skins. I will try to look for the Japaense version and give it a try :).

    • Thank you Adora! Oh so you guys are having 3-day weekend as well? Nice. Here too, it’s kind of cold even though we had some sun. Too cold for BBQ outside for sure. Hopefully we both have nice sunny & warmer days soon. 🙂

    • Hi Kath! Well enjoy “sleeping in” as much as you can…. after having kids, there is no way we can sleep in. And kids wake up like 6:30am on weekends. Arghhhh… So, enjoy your beauty sleep! 😉

    • Hi Marsha! It was my very first time buying blood oranges and I was surprised how pricy they were compared to regular ones. But I see why, it’s so good! Thank you for your sweet words, but my kids and I are still sick. I can’t believe I’ve been sick for such a long time! But thanks for your thoughtful comment. 🙂

    • Thank you Katherine! I got this recipe from Beth, and she lives in Israel too (I think you two are already friends). I’m so happy she could get blood oranges so that I could learn this recipe from her! 🙂

  42. Hi Aipi! I actually wish that I get satisfied with salad for lunch. Unless I eat like 4 servings of salad, I probably won’t get full. LOL. I hope you will like this blood orange dressing. 🙂

    • Hi Elle Marie! Yeah I can imagine. I never knew blood oranges when I was in Japan, but I also wasn’t cooking back then so I wasn’t paying attention to ingredients. Haha. Japan has lots of holidays and I miss that…. here 3 day weekend is the maximum length. I miss Golden Week, Obon, and New Years (all long holiday. haha). Thanks for visiting Elle Marie!
