This recipe is missing some important ingredients. I had to add salt, pepper, and olive oil to make it taste good.

I tried making this salad, but it didn't turn out well. I think I used the wrong type of oranges.

I'm not a big fan of jalapenos, but I still enjoyed this salad. The dressing is so flavorful that it balances out the heat from the peppers.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover blood oranges. I also added some grilled chicken to make it a more substantial meal.
