Here's the dressing for the salad (serves two, so increase as necessary):

Peg's Blood Orange Dressing:

The Juice of one blood orange
A teaspoon of blood orange vinegar
One tablespoon of olive oil
minced fresh garlic to taste
minced fresh thyme to taste
pinch of white pepper
one teaspoon honey

Whisk until smooth...

If you ask nicely perhaps I'll offer the recipe for my Cream of Nettles Soup...although sadly it's too icy and cold in Boston now to go pick them!!!

Hey, can we have some hot drinks over here? And a cushion, there's a good lad...aaah...

Hey, what else is on board for dessert??? (Peg has foregone her spring fast until the weather turns a bit warmer) I could whip up a nice winter fruit salad...imported apples, citrus fruits and California strawberries...drizzled in honey with some chopped raw pecans and almonds...while we dream of local peaches, berries and melons...
just a few months away!
