Preheat the oven temperature to 350 degrees.
Prep 8 X 8-inch baking pan with parchment paper
Mix the flour, powdered sugar, and butter together until a soft dough forms. You can use a pastry cutter or a mixer on low speed for the dough.
Press mixture evenly in the bottom of the prepared pan. I often do this with a silicone spatula.
Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes.
Add the zest, juice, sugar, flour, salt, and eggs into a blender/food processor.
Pulse until light and frothy. 
Remove the crust from the oven. Do not let the crust cool.
Pulse the mixture one more time.
Pour the filling on the top of the hot crust.
Return to the oven and bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes.
Remove the orange bars from the oven when done.
Set aside and cool on a wire rack to cool completely to room temperature.
Just prior to serving your blood orange bar sprinkle powdered sugar on top of the bars.
