I could spend hours talking about my love for Cara Cara Oranges. They’re sweet, seedless, and the perfect shade of orangey-pink. You can, of course, just enjoy them plain, but it’s so easy to turn them into something special. I like to peel the rind, cut them into circles,  and serve them sprinkled with tajin or make a quick & simple salad like this one.
