Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 whole Oranges
- 2 whole Grapefruits
- 2 whole Blood oranges
- 1 whole Lemon
- 10 leaves Fresh mint leaves
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 teaspoon Orange blossom water
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons Pistachios (optional)
Instructions
Carefully peel the oranges, grapefruits, and blood oranges, removing all the white pith. Slice them into thin rounds and remove any seeds. Arrange the slices on a large serving platter, slightly overlapping them.
Zest the lemon and set the zest aside. Then, squeeze the juice from the lemon over the citrus slices to enhance their flavor.
In a small bowl, mix the honey, orange blossom water, and ground cinnamon. Drizzle this mixture evenly over the citrus fruits on the platter.
Finely chop the fresh mint leaves and sprinkle them over the salad. If using pistachios, roughly chop them and sprinkle on top for added crunch and texture.
Garnish with the reserved lemon zest for a final touch of brightness.
Serve immediately as a refreshing side dish, dessert, or breakfast. You can also chill the salad for 15 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld together.
