This time of year, when citrus is bursting with flavor, one of my favorite simple salads is made entirely of citrus. Simple Citrus Salad....say that five times fast! Sweet cara-cara oranges from the farmers market, tangy pink grapefruit and juicy blood oranges simply sliced and dressed with a drizzle of honey, a julienne of mint and a sprinkling of sea salt. It's as beautiful to look at as it is to taste!

I've always wanted to make a citrus salad. It looks so beautiful to me and screams spring!! I just love blood oranges but it is so hard to find them in my area. I'll have to scower the markets so I can make this! =)
