Cara Cara Orange Salad and Vegan on the Cheap News

My latest food obsession is Cara Cara oranges. These sweet, luscious oranges may be old news to some of you, but they only recently showed up at my local supermarket.  A type of navel orange, they look like other navel oranges on the outside, but once you cut into them, you’ll notice the difference.  The first clue that these are no ordinary oranges is their pinkish red color inside.  The second clue is their flavor, as in “out-of-this-world sweet and delicious.” Easily the best tasting oranges I’ve ever eaten, I enjoy them “as is” as well as in salads and other recipes.
I made the refreshing salad in the photo above by arranging slices of Cara Cara oranges and ripe avocado on a bed of Romaine lettuce, sprinkled with dried cherries, macadamia nuts, and a splash of cherry juice blended with just a smidge of lemon juice and agave.  The colors, textures, and flavors of this salad were simply outstanding.
