Blood oranges have to be one of the most beautiful fruits. The bold red and orange colors combined with the sweet flavor make this unique citrus an all-time favorite. Sometimes they are difficult to find, so when you see them, make sure to snag them! They are delicious to snack on, make fresh squeezed juice or add to a healthy, green salad.
Blood oranges are like a superfruit, high in antioxidants, vitamin C, potassium, and fiber. The other superstar in this salad is the pretty persimmon! Persimmons are a great source of vitamin A, fiber, B-complex vitamins, and antioxidants.
This blood orange and persimmon winter salad is a healthy, delicious salad made with minimal ingredients, which makes it simple and quick to make. It’s light and full of festive flavors making it perfect for holiday dinners and parties. And lettuce be honest;)… Salads don’t always make the Thanksgiving favorite dish list, but hopefully this will! So, make sure to add this to your Thanksgiving menu or bring to your family dinner. You’re family and friends will thank you for something tasty, healthy and light on the waistline!
