Shaved Brussel Salad with Blood Orange Champagne Vinaigrette

Posted by angeladawn1220 on

I have been waiting soooo patiently(not really…I’m not a patient person..LOL) for blood orange season! Every time I would visit the grocery store, my hopes were high as I would make my way to the citrus section in hunt for the perfect blood orange. I was let down every single time. Until….yesterday! They were FINALLY in stock and I may have done a little happy jig when I saw that they were available! I developed this idea for a salad with blood orange champagne vinaigrette back in the late summer and I have been chomping at the bit to make it! I am sooo happy with how it turned out. This would be a beautiful addition to your holiday table next year! Pray the blood oranges are on the shelves! LOL!
