Blood Orange Salad and Vinaigrette

Generally, this makes 4 or 6 individual salads so we carb count based on servings. Use a sprinkle of nuts if you prefer, we have a nut allergy in the family and recently discovered “Three Farmers Crunchy Little Lentils”. They taste a bit nutty and are great on salads or a snack.
