Thanks for joining me for this week’s edition of What’s On the Menu Wednesday. I really appreciate your willingness to participate and to share your great ideas. I am so fortunate to have a family that likes most foods. They allow me to experiment and are patient with my attempts to try new dishes. However, there are some that are frequently requested, this simple salad being one of those.
While they add to the beauty of this dish, if blood oranges aren’t available, use any kind of sweet, juicy orange in the dish.
Blood Orange and Blue Cheese Salad
10 cups arugula
1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese
2 blood oranges
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese
2 blood oranges
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup lemon juice
Combine arugula and cheese in a large bowl. Remove peel and white pitch from oranges. Cut between orange membranes to release segments into bowl with arugula and cheese. Pour oil and lemon juice over salad; toss to blend. Season salad to taste with salt and pepper.
I sometimes garnish the salad with candied walnuts.
4 – 6 servings

Great salad, such a delicious combo! Oranges and blue cheese and peppery arugula, I’d love this tomorrow for lunch.
Hi Debbie,
I shared my delicious Banana Coconut Cream Dessert and two articles that I hope you enjoy. I wasn’t sure if the articles fit, but I did not see your rules… they are certainly food related.
Hi Debbie,
Looking forward to a great Wednesday at your party. Thanks for hosting and have a fun day!
