Tis the time of year for citrus. We’re working on our 7th case of oranges since Christmas. Did you get that? 7- 40 lb. cases. That’s a ton of oranges, and we have loved every single one. Most have been eaten in the form of a carrot-orange-apple-spinach juice most days, but there have been a lot of salads topped with oranges as well. Last weekend my granny brought this Winter Citrus salad to a family gathering and I was smitten. So simple and delicious, and it boasted the flavor of another favorite ingredient. Honey! I call it liquid gold. That’s what it looks like and it’s just so tasty. So now when you have that over abundance of oranges in your fruit basket you can make this beautiful salad. My kids all liked it as well. Really, isn’t it perty:) I actually think this is one of the loveliest pictures I’ve taken. The colors are so stinking perfect for a winter day. I’m going to frame it in my living room. Maybe even in my bedroom!

We’ve been making Citrus Salads with oranges, grapefruit, feta cheese, mint, and olive oil. I think I’ll try combining the two recipes together.
