Special Precautions and Tips:
- If you don't have blood oranges, you can substitute regular oranges.
- To toast the walnuts more quickly, you can use a toaster oven.
- If you don't have caramel sauce, you can make your own by melting 1/2 cup of sugar in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the sugar until it turns a light amber color, then add 1/4 cup of water. Stir until the sauce is smooth.
