This is insanely fast and easy to pull together, impressive to serve at a brunch party, and nicely fresh which is a nice change after the sugar rush of the holidays.
We sliced the citrus to show off its sparkling beauty, then topped it with just a pinch of mint sugar. Any citrus – the more color the better – works here, but we went with grapefruit, tangerine, clementine, and a little lime.
Winter Citrus Salad with Mint Sugar
Remove rind from citrus with a sharp knife, then cut citrus crosswise to reveal the star pattern. Admittedly, this isn’t the way to cut citrus for the fastest/easiest eating experience. We chose to go with the cross sections for beauty, but if you want a fast-to-eat salad you could cut the citrus a little differently.
- 1 grapefruit
- 2 tangerines
- 2 clementines
- 1 lime
- generous sprinkling of mint sugar (approx 2 Tbsp)
- mint leaves as garnish
Arrange citrus slices on a serving platter, sprinkle with mint sugar (we used about 2 Tbsp), and garnish with mint leaves. Serve!
Simply gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteLovely pictures. I'm actually not a fan of citrus, but this makes me want to give them another chance.
