This Citrus Salad is a vibrant, refreshing dish made with a medley of seasonal citrus fruits, fresh herbs, and a light olive oil dressing. It’s a colorful, flavorful side perfect for winter brunches, light lunches, or sunny afternoon meals.

Ingredients

  • 2 navel oranges
  • 2 cara cara or blood oranges
  • 1 pink or ruby red grapefruit
  • 1–2 tangerines or mandarins (optional)
  • Fresh mint or basil leaves
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons pomegranate seeds (optional)
  • Thinly sliced red onion (optional)
  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta or sliced avocado (optional)

Instructions

  1. Using a sharp knife, cut the peel and pith off all citrus fruits. Slice into rounds or segment into supremes.
  2. Arrange the citrus slices on a large serving plate, slightly overlapping them.
  3. Scatter fresh mint or basil leaves over the top.
  4. If using, sprinkle with pomegranate seeds, red onion, feta, or avocado slices.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, honey (if using), salt, and pepper.
  6. Drizzle the dressing lightly over the salad just before serving.
  7. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Use a mix of citrus varieties for best color and flavor.
  • Slice citrus just before serving to preserve freshness.
  • Add arugula or baby spinach to turn it into a green salad.
  • For added crunch, top with toasted pistachios or sliced almonds.
  • Great as a side for grilled fish or chicken.
