Citrus Salad with Mint, Honey, and Lime
This citrus salad with mint, honey and lime is refreshing and flavorful. It would be perfect for anything from a party to a breakfast staple.
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 4 Cara Cara oranges (or any type of orange)
- 2 grapefruit
- zest of one lime
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh mint
Instructions
- Using a very sharp knife, cut away the peel and white pith of the oranges and grapefruit. Over a bowl, cut each segment out, letting the juice run into the bowl, and putting the segments into another bowl.4 Cara Cara oranges, 2 grapefruit
- Once the segments are all in the bowl, lightly drain any excess juice. (Reserve the juice and enjoy it as a beverage.)
- To the citrus segments, add lime zest, honey, and mint. Stir gently to combine. Serve immediately or store in fridge until ready to serve. I usually reserve the mint leaves until I'm ready to serve the salad so they don't become discolored.zest of one lime, 2 tablespoons honey, 1 tablespoon minced fresh mint
Notes
- Oranges: You can use any type of orange. Navel oranges are most common but there are several varieties of blood oranges which have a reddish hue and more complex flavor. I like to use a few varieties for extra color.
- Grapefruit: Pink or red grapefruit are sweeter than white or yellow grapefruit. If you use white grapefruit, you may have to increase the honey, to taste.
- Variations: Fresh pineapple would be amazing in this salad. You could also slice a banana into the salad right before serving. Top with flaked coconut, if you like.
