Citrus Salad

Citrus Salad is an excellent choice to serve in the winter months when fresh fruits are limited. This salad recipe is so simple that you can whip it together in a few minutes, but it tastes delightful. You could actually use any types of citrus fruits that you have on hand. I only had large oranges and grapefruits and that is what I used. Since grapefruits are a tad bitter, I drizzled just a bit of Organic Blue Agave over the top of the salad and it was perfect. This recipe serves four, but I could have doubled it, and my family would have been happy to eat more!

Ingredients for Citrus Salad:

• 2 grapefruits

• 2 oranges

• Organic Blue Agave

• Toasted slivered almonds (optional)

Directions for Citrus Salad:

• Peel the grapefruit and divide it into sections. Peel the section skin away as much as possible so only the grapefruit remains. Slice into bite size pieces.

• Peel the oranges and section them. Slice into bit size pieces.

• Mix together and drizzle with Organic Blue Agave.

• Top with slivered toasted almonds (optional)
