Just to remind people that this is orange season. I have been buying navel and blood oranges at Whole Foods and using them in salads. They are absolutely delicious at this time of year - full of natural sugar and Vitamin C. I take a large plate and layer it with baby greens and spinach, lay slices of the oranges on top, scatter over some mint leaves and use an olive oil/lemon dressing. We have it every night with our main meal.
