Categories     Citrus

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 large ruby pink grapefruit
3 navel oranges (or a combination of naval oranges, blood oranges, mandarin orange or tangerines)
1/4 cup honey
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice or 2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom

Steps:

  • Peel the fruit. Cut away the membranes of the individual segments with a sharp knife. Collect the peeled segments in a bowl.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of citrus fruits for a more complex flavor. Some popular choices include oranges, grapefruits, lemons, limes, and mandarins.
  • For a sweeter salad, use sweeter citrus fruits like oranges and mandarins. If you prefer a tarter salad, use more tart fruits like lemons and grapefruits.
  • If you are using a citrus fruit with a thick rind, such as grapefruit, be sure to peel and remove the pith before cutting the fruit into segments.
  • To make the salad more refreshing, chill the citrus fruits before assembling the salad.
  • For a healthier salad, use fresh fruit instead of canned fruit. Canned fruit often contains added sugar and preservatives.
  • If you are using honey or maple syrup to sweeten the salad, add it to taste. You may not need to use the full amount of sweetener called for in the recipe.
  • Garnish the salad with fresh mint or basil for a pop of color and flavor.
