Winter Citrus Salad
A variety of citrus fruits makes a colorful, sweet and sour salad that is refreshing as a light dessert after a hearty winter meal. I love the sour bites of grapefruit, the bright red from the blood oranges and just a hint of ginger. I served this to my family on Christmas after a heavy dinner and it was a welcomed change from a typical rich dessert. Embrace the winter produce that’s in season with this simple delicious citrus salad!
