Summer Citrus Fruit Salad
What’s in this Recipe?
Citrus Fruit: We chose to go with oranges and grapefruit. You can also add in blood oranges, clementines or whatever is available at your local farmers market or grocery store.
Kiwi: Kiwi is not typically a fruit that we gravitate towards in the store, but it pairs so well with this salad.
Berries: We added raspberries to our salad. Other summer berries, like blackberries could pair very well with this as well.
Mint Leaves: Mint pairs so well with anything citrus. Feel free to add as many leaves as you want!
Coarse Sugar: Some of the citrus fruits, like grapefruit can be a little bitter, so sprinkling this salad with a little sugar adds the right amount of sweetness.
How to Make the Fruit Salad
This salad is SO simple to make, you’ll want to make it every day this summer.
First, peel your grapefruits, oranges and kiwi, then slice the fruits into beautiful rings. Next, you’ll want to wash your raspberries and pat them dry.
