Hi Alaine, great salad! Love salads in the summer, with a plethora of available oranges ( I live in sunny Florida) I used a navel orange (my favorite type) had some blueberries leftover from Blueberry-Salsa recipe and just had a good time putting this together. Two friends joined me and they loved it as well. Thank you for sharing. Cheryl
