Ingredients
Scale
- 3 large navel oranges, peeled and segmented
- 2 ruby red grapefruits, peeled and segmented
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon lime zest
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Prepare the citrus: Peel the oranges and grapefruits completely, removing all white pith. Slice between the membranes to release the segments over a bowl to catch any juice.
- Make the honey-lime vinaigrette: In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, honey, lime zest, salt, and pepper until the honey dissolves.
- Combine: Gently place the citrus segments into a serving bowl. Drizzle the honey-lime vinaigrette over the fruit.
- Toss lightly: Gently toss the salad to coat the fruit evenly with the dressing.
- Serve immediately or chill briefly before serving.
Notes
- For a vibrant winter citrus salad, substitute one orange with a blood orange for color contrast.
- If you want a citrus greens salad, add 3 cups of baby arugula or spinach before tossing with the dressing.
- Toasted slivered almonds or chopped pistachios add good crunch to this easy fruit salad.
