Vibrant, colorful, and packed with nutrition, this unusual salad is an eye-catching start to a meal or wonderful accompaniment to a grilled chicken breast or piece of poached fish. It gets a boost of complex, distinctive flavor from orange flower water, which is distilled from orange blossoms and a commonly used ingredient in Mediterranean dishes. The warm-spiced sugar sprinkle adds even more interest. A garnish of tiny basil or chervil leaves would also work well here. Blood oranges get their ruby hue from anthocyanins, the same compound makes some cabbage red and blueberries blue.
