What's On the Side: Citrus-Apple Salad

This fruit salad complements most meals, or could make for a light breakfast, lunch, or mid-day snack. Citrus fruits make up the base of this salad; I opted to use a grapefruit and oranges; you could choose your favorite citrus fruits. (I think my next iteration will include a tangelo or two.) The impetus to make this salad comes from one of my new favorite food blogs, Everybody Likes Sandwiches.

Citrus-Apple Salad
makes 3+ servings

1 grapefruit
2 navel oranges
2 apples (I used a Braeburn and a Pink Lady)
1 lime
1 - 1 1/2 tablespoons turbinado (raw) sugar

1. Peel and cut the citrus fruits into sections. Be sure to remove as much pith as possible. Add into a medium-sized serving bowl. (I opted to cut the sections over the bowl to capture all the grapefruit juice.
2. Cut and quarter the apples. Add to the serving bowl.
3. Gently roll the lime on a flat surface; cut into halves and add the lime juice into the fruit bowl.
4. Stir all the fruit and juices together.
5. Add the sugar. In addition to 1 T of raw sugar, I also added about 2 t of vanilla bean-lavender sugar, another Savory Spice Shop find. Stir to combine.
6. Finish off the fruit salad by adding lime zest over the top.
