Sarasota's Simple Sweet Citrus Salad
Ready In: 11 mins
Serves: 2-8
Yields: 2-8 Salads
Ingredients
Citrus
- orange (mix of naval, tangelo, seville, blood oranges, valencia, clementines, any fresh citrus will work)
- grapefruit (ruby red, pink or white)
- mint leaf
Dressing
- powdered sugar
- 1 pinch cinnamon
- orange blossom water (found at any Asian Markets, Whole Foods or any Health Market)
Directions
- Salad -- I can often find my citrus, prepared and segmented right in the grocery store or local citrus markets, stands. but if not, to segment the fruit. cut a small slice off of the top and bottom so it sets flat, then use a small sharp knife and cut off the skin. Then run your knife inbetween each segment and remove the fruit. Just use a nice sharp knife for this. It is really not difficult.
- Serve -- I serve this 2 ways. First, you can serve this family style on a platter by arranging the different colors of the citrus; or you can serve this individually on small plates or in small martini glasses, or small bowls.
- Dressing -- Drizzle a little of the orange blossom water over the fruit. Just a teaspoon or two (It is like drizzling a little vinegar over a salad, just a bit for flavor), then some powdered sugar (just a light dusting, and a pinch of cinnamon. Garnish with fresh mint leaves.
- Since this is really a NO recipe, there are no amounts. So make this for 2, 4, 6, 8 or for a large crowd. Just a nice simple salad.
