Gina's Arizona Citrus Salad image

This recipe was inspired by a visit to a restaurant in Phoenix, Arizona. I loved it so much I ran back to my hotel room and wrote down everything I could remember was in it. It's a beautiful salad with a light dressing and has lots of texture and color. The dressing took some experimenting, but I think it turned out just right.

I'm not a big fan of citrus fruits, but I actually really enjoyed this salad. The dressing was light and tangy, and it balanced out the sweetness of the fruit.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover citrus fruits. I always have a few oranges or grapefruit lying around, and this is a great way to use them up.
