CITRUS SALAD

The most beautiful ruby-red grapefruit is available in December; use it to make this jewel-like salad. In other seasons, the grapefruit will be smaller and you will need more.

A MAINLY CITRUS SALAD (DESSERT)



A Mainly Citrus Salad (Dessert) image

This is an easy to prepare salad that kind of goes well with summer. But it is so good to have during the winter, because it provides vitamin C which helps fight off the common flu virus. There is no cooking involved, but you might want to let refrigerate for a little while so the flavours will blend together. As for the sectioning of the citrus, it doesn't have to be perfect, but you do want individual pieces going into the salad.

Time 10m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 blood oranges, sectioned
1 cup tangerine, sectioned
1 white grapefruit, sectioned
1 pink grapefruit, sectioned
1 red grapefruit, sectioned
1 1/2 cups strawberries, hulled, washed and halved
1/2 cup blueberries, washed
2 tablespoons fresh key lime juice
2 tablespoons white wine
1 tablespoon honey

Steps:

  • After sectioning the citrus, washing the berries and cutting the strawberries in half, put them all in a large bowl.
  • In a small bowl mix the white wine, honey and key lime juice together. Note: I freshly squeezed my lime juice. As well I used Sauvignon white wine because it has a citric taste to it, and although it doesn't usually pair well with fruits, it blended too well with the fruit salad.
  • Pour the mix into the salad, and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes before serving.

My mom always made this salad for Christmas dinner, so it's been a family favorite for many years. I teach special education at the high school level and often incorporate cooking into my lessons. Whenever we make this recipe at school, it's always a hit with the students.
