Citrus Salad
Citrus Salad is a favorite among kids and adults and can be served with any kind of meat or especially seafood (Low-fat and Healthy !)
Our stores are packed with the juiciest citrus fruits this time of the year. Of course one of our favorite salads is a Citrus Salad and we always enjoy this one I am sharing with you today.
Citrus is also very welcome during our Winter months as it provides a bunch of Vitamin C, which helps to keep colds and flu away.
Every ingredient in this Citrus salad works so well together. And the herbs balances out the somewhat sourness in the grapefruit.
Although I have to admit that our grapefruits this year are just about perfect and more sweet than usual.
And I have that oh so soft place for Arugula … lots and lost (I actually add more to my serving each and every time!).

So funny we went out to eat the other night and my son ordered a cajun salad but the waitress brought the citrus salad instead – I had no idea he hadn't had fruit in his salad before and he LOVED it. He will surely love your citrus salad, I will have to make it for him this week!
This salad looks awesome for summer or also great as a started before a winter warmer meal. Light and refreshing, just what you want!

My other half has just been diagnosed with low folic acid levels so all the citrus in this salad will be perfect for him – if I can persuade him to eat it! The fresh colours look delicious to me
This looks great for a hot summer! my kind of salad.
