Citrus Fruit Salad
- 3 oranges
- 1 grapefruit
- 1 ruby grapefruit
- 2 clementines or mandarin oranges
- Juice of 1 lime
- 1-2 tbsp sugar (optional)
- Lime zest, to decorate (optional)
- With a sharp knife, cut away the skin and pith from the oranges and grapefruit.
- Cutting toward the core of the fruit and working over a bowl, cut away each segment, sliding the knife blade close to the membrane that separates them.
- Place all the segments in a bowl.
- Squeeze any remaining juice from the membranes, then discard the membranes.
- Peel the clementines and divide into segments.
- Add to the bowl, then add the lime juice.
- Sprinkle with the sugar, if using.
- Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours, until chilled.
- Using a slotted spoon, spoon the salad into dessert cups and garnish with the lime zest, if using.
- Serve chilled.
- Variation
- Sweet Citrus Salad
- Make as above, but replace the 2 grapefruits with 1 pomelo or ugli fruit.
- These fruits have naturally sweeter flavors, so you can omit the sugar entirely.
