I realize blood oranges, pistachios and baby kale aren't exactly pantry staples, but this combination is worth seeking out if you don't hoard blood oranges and dark leafy greens this time year. I've also made this salad with a grapefruit, and the tartness lends a nice quality! Just increase the maple syrup a bit to round things out. And because I'm obnoxious, I'm going to say that a fresh goat cheese will really send this salad over the top. I should also mention that this salad will hold up well as a packed lunch since kale (even dressed) will hold up for several hours without getting wilty.
