Winter Citrus Salad with a Honey Drizzle

At this time of year, citrus fruits abound. Citrus is rich in antioxidants that helps boost immune systems and protect against illness.I love that the tartness of the citrus, plus the sweetness of honey, herbaceousness of fresh thyme, and a little salt and olive would make a wonderful winter citrus salad.

I picked the citrus for their visual appeal, with flesh in two shades. You can use all naval oranges or whatever citrus you have available to you.

Ingredients serves 4

  • 2 organic cara cara oranges
  • 2 organic naval oranges
  • 2 organic grapefruits
  • 2 T honey
  • 1 T freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 T olive oil
  • 1 t fresh thyme
  • 1 t sea salt flakes

Procedure

Peel all the citrus fruit, ensuring all the white pith is removed.


Slice the citrus and arrange on a serving plate, alternating colors, if you are using different colored fruits. Sprinkle with thyme and sea salt. Drizzle with honey, lemon juice, and olive oil. Serve immediately.

Quick Pickled Red Onions and Radishes

If you've been reading my blog for even a short amount of time, you probably know how much I love to pickle things. I was just telling a friend you can pickle - with vinegar - or you can ferment - with salt - for similar delicious effect. The latter has digestive benefits and I love to do that, but when I need that pop of sour flavor quickly, I whip up quick pickles that are ready in as little as a day or two. I've Pickled Blueberries , Pickled Asparagus , Pickled Cranberries , Pickled Pumpkin , and even Pickled Chard Stems ! This I did last night for an upcoming recipe challenge that requires I include radishes. Ummmm...of course I'm pickling them! Ingredients  makes 1 quart jar radishes, trimmed and sliced organic red onions, peeled and thinly sliced (I used a mandolin slicer) 3/4 C vinegar (I used white distilled vinegar) 3/4 C water 3 T organic granulated sugar 1 T salt (I used some grey sea salt) 6 to 8 grinds of black pepper Proce...
