My older sister who is a great cook and baker gave me the recipe for this salad. She used to make it a lot when we lived in New York. Her recipe is with pineapple but I didn’t have any so I used blood oranges instead. It’s delicious with both but blood oranges make it look so much more dramatic.
If you bought a sack of blood oranges and not sure what to do with them make my orange madeleines and caramelized oranges.
Waldorf Salad With Blood Oranges
