Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large navel orange
- 1 large grapefruit
- 3 small mandarin oranges or clementines
- 1 large lime
- 8 medium-sized leaves fresh mint leaves
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 0.25 cup pomegranate seeds
- 0.5 cup blueberries
Instructions
Peel the navel oranges using a sharp knife, removing all the white pith. Slice the oranges into thin rounds and cut each round in half. Place them into a large serving bowl.
Cut the grapefruit into segments (known as supremes) by slicing between the membranes. Add the segments to the bowl with the oranges.
Peel and separate the mandarin oranges or clementines into individual segments. Add these to the citrus mixture.
Juice the lime into a small bowl. Finely chop the fresh mint leaves and add them to the lime juice.
Whisk the honey into the lime juice and mint mixture to create the dressing.
Drizzle the dressing over the citrus fruits in the bowl and gently toss to combine and coat the fruit evenly.
Sprinkle the pomegranate seeds and blueberries over the top of the salad for added texture and bursts of flavor.
Chill the salad in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes before serving for a refreshing experience. Enjoy!
