Blood Orange Salad with Gorgonzola, Pecans and Baby Greens

I love blood oranges! These oranges are originally from Sicily, but have become quite popular here in the US, if your lucky enough to find blood oranges where you live buy them, if not, regular oranges would do. This makes a great light lunch loaded with vitamin C, vitamin E, fiber, antioxidants and omega-3 fatty acids.

For the vinaigrette, combine about 1/3 cup orange juice, olive oil, shallots, balsamic, salt and pepper in a small glass jar and shake vigorously.
