Simple Citrus Salad
Healthy and vibrant citrus salad brings a burst of sunshine to the table any time of year! It’s perfect for Mother’s Day brunch or any special occasion! It’s loaded with vitamin C, antioxidants, protein, and a low-sugar dressing. Make it a main dish by adding warm or chilled sliced chicken breasts, shrimp cocktail, or a fancy filet of salmon.
Citrus Salad Ingredients
Citrus – The stars of this salad are grapefruit and oranges. I use two kinds of oranges to make it pretty, but you can use any variety. Cara cara oranges (navel oranges) and Blood oranges are sold in most grocery stores. Arugula – The peppery bite and thicker leaves work perfectly in this recipe. Replace it with massaged kale or spring mix. Nuts – Pistachios add a salty, nutty crunch to this citrus salad recipe. Vinaigrette – Fresh is best for the lime juice, zest some of the peel for an added garnish before serving, if desired. Honey can be switched out for agave or maple syrup.
