CITRUS SALAD WITH MINT SUGAR
Found another recipe for the use of all the citrus in our neighborhood. This is so refreshing, it is a perfect brunch salad to go with an egg dish or on it's own. You may want to pith the fruit the night before as it can be a little time consuming, but the fruit keeps well. I used the dried cranberries, because I had them on hand, but the pomegranate seeds are probably more colorful. Medical Alert: Grapefruit can interact negatively with some medications, check with your pharmacist or doctor.

CITRUS BLUEBERRY SALAD WITH ALMOND RELISH AND MINTED SUGAR
Steps:
- Put the almonds, sugar and mint in a food processor and pulse briefly to make a coarse streusel-like topping. Transfer to a small bowl.
- Combine the grapefruits and oranges in a large decorative bowl. Combine the reserved citrus juices in a small saucepan (you should have at least 2 cups, if you don't, add enough fresh orange or grapefruit juice to make up the difference). Add the honey and fresh ginger and bring to a boil. Cook until the mixture is reduced by half. Remove from the heat and let cool to room temperature, at least 30 minutes. Remove the ginger and pour the mixture over the citrus. Cover and refrigerate the salad for at least 1 hour and up to 24 hours.
- Just before serving, stir in the blueberries. Top with the minted almond sugar and serve.

Steps:
- Working over a bowl to catch the juices, use a paring knife to slice between the sections and membranes of each grapefruit; remove the segments whole. Place each segment in bowl as completed. Repeat process with oranges in same bowl. Transfer to refrigerator. Recipe may be made up to this point 1 hour ahead.
- Make vinaigrette: In a small bowl, combine vinegar, honey, and salt and pepper to taste. Slowly whisk in olive oil, then canola oil, until mixture is well combined. Set vinaigrette aside.
- Just before serving, arrange radicchio and endive leaves on a large serving platter. Arrange grapefruit and orange segments in the center of the platter. Scatter red-onion slices over the top. Drizzle the reserved vinaigrette over the salad, and serve.
Tips:
- Choose the right citrus fruits: Use a variety of citrus fruits to create a colorful and flavorful salad. Grapefruits, oranges, tangerines, and lemons are all good choices.
- Segment the citrus fruits properly: To avoid bitterness, use a sharp knife to remove the pith from the citrus fruits before segmenting them.
- Make the mint sugar ahead of time: Mint sugar can be made up to 24 hours in advance. This will allow the flavors to meld together.
- Use fresh mint: Fresh mint is essential for this salad. Do not use dried mint, as it will not have the same flavor.
- Serve the salad chilled: This salad is best served chilled. You can make it ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
