Unique Citrus Salad

Hey there, foodies! Today, I’m sharing a recipe for a unique citrus salad that is perfect for those sunny summer days when you crave something refreshing and vibrant. This dish combines the zesty flavors of citrus fruits with a hint of spice and sweetness for a truly unforgettable taste experience. Let’s dive in!

Ingredients:

  • mixed citrus fruits (orange, grapefruit, blood orange) – 500g
  • avocado – 1, diced
  • jalapeno pepper – 1, finely chopped
  • honey – 30ml
  • fresh mint leaves – 10g, chopped
  • sea salt – a pinch

Kitchen Tools:

  • knife
  • cutting board
  • mixing bowl
  • citrus juicer

To start, wash and dry your citrus fruits. Using a sharp knife and cutting board, carefully peel the fruits and remove the pith. Slice the citrus fruits into rounds or segments and arrange them on a serving platter.

Next, dice the avocado and sprinkle it over the citrus fruits. Add the finely chopped jalapeno pepper for a spicy kick. Drizzle the honey over the salad for a touch of sweetness.

In a small mixing bowl, combine the chopped mint leaves and a pinch of sea salt. Sprinkle this mixture over the citrus salad.

Give the salad a gentle toss to combine all the flavors. Let it sit for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Serving:

The total weight of the cooked dish is approximately 600g, with 4 servings. Each serving weighs around 150g. The approximate calorie count per serving is 120 calories.

One clever tip for making this citrus salad even more flavorful is to sprinkle some chili powder or smoked paprika over the top for a smoky, spicy twist.

I hope you give this unique citrus salad a try and customize it with your favorite ingredients. Enjoy the burst of flavors in every bite!
