Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 whole Orange
- 2 whole Grapefruit
- 2 whole Blood orange
- 1 whole Lemon
- 1 whole Lime
- 10 leaves Fresh mint leaves
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 0.5 cup Pomegranate seeds
- 0.25 cup Pistachios (shelled, unsalted)
- 0.25 teaspoon Sea salt
Instructions
Begin by preparing the citrus fruits. Use a sharp knife to cut off the top and bottom of each orange, grapefruit, and blood orange. Slice away the peel and white pith, following the curve of the fruit.
Once peeled, slice the citrus fruits into 1/4-inch-thick rounds. Remove any seeds and set aside in a medium bowl.
Cut the lemon and lime in half, and squeeze the juice from one half of each into a small bowl. Thinly slice the remaining halves for garnish.
Prepare the honey-lime dressing by mixing the honey with 2 tablespoons of lime juice in a small bowl. Stir until smooth and well-combined.
Roughly chop the mint leaves and pistachios. Set them aside for topping.
Arrange the citrus slices on a large serving plate, alternating colors and types for visual appeal.
Drizzle the honey-lime dressing evenly over the arranged citrus slices.
Sprinkle the pomegranate seeds, chopped mint, and pistachios over the top.
Finish with a pinch of sea salt for contrast and garnish with the lemon and lime slices.
Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for up to 1 hour before serving.
