This is the best salad that I have ever made! It's the perfect winter salad since citrus is at it's peak. The salad has every flavor that you crave: sweet, salty, sour, and even a subtle spice with the red pepper flakes. Eric and I loved the dressing and the best part is that it's low-fat and full of flavor! The original recipe was made with arugula and mint, which I am not a huge fan of. It also called for blood oranges, which are delicious, but the cara cara oranges were amazing at the co-op. I have already made this salad twice this week. I highly recommend making this easy supper.
