This is a recipe for a fresh and healthy Winter Citrus Salad. Colorful fruit and greens make a great citrus salad side dish. The zingy dressing brings this over the top.
Colorful with pink grapefruit, orange orange and green kiwi, you just feel good eating it. The dressing is a cousin to a Catalina and a perfect match for the fruit and the peppery greens.
This is a recipe that I posted when I first started blogging. Back when I had like minus two readers.
Plus it was hiding behind a great little BLT Cheeseburger, so could have went unnoticed.
Anyway, I served it this week with some little sliders and it’s just so good I wanted to share the recipe again, with the spotlight completely on the salad.

Winter Fruit Citrus Salad…It’s What’s for a Side Dish.
This looks so good and healthy–I definitely need to try it!
Thanks for stopping by Nancy. We really liked it. Enjoy.
Where’s the burger this time? He’s not hiding behind the salad 😉
No burger this time Chris. I’m having a dinner party this coming weekend with all sorts of sinful offerings … trying to behave before hand. :/
I adore citrus in a salad, recently I made a grilled grapefruit salad and I’m kicking myself for not blogging about it! Your salad looks so refreshing, perfect for a warm summer’s day.
I’m kicking you for not blogging about it. Sounds really good Rhonda.
Looks like the perfect summer salad!!!
So pretty Lea Ann. I’ve pinned it on my recipes to try. This is my kind of salad, so healthy and fresh.

Being one of your original readers, I’m so glad you brought this one back – such a great recipe and so pretty. (eating lots of colors is important) Citrus is a favorite of mine any day and the dressing sounds delicious.
The rock formations in the previous post are amazing, Lea Ann. You live in a beautiful part of the country. 🙂
And I know I’ve said this before, but will repeat: I love your new layout. The header is unusual, colorful and even has texture!
Citrus salads are a favorite at my house. I like the tasty vinaigrette. Some of our best recipes were the ones we first posted.
Thanks Barbara, it really is a special place. Thanks for the compliment on the layout. Now I just need to come up with a gravatar. I agree, I love fruit in salads when there’s a vinaigrette involved.
I think good recipes should make multiple appearances! This one is beautiful, and what an unusual dressing.
Thanks Sue!
Looks nice and refreshing. I used to love Catalina dressing!
My mom would always make a salad for dinner and place three bottles of dressing on the table; Thousand Island, Catalina and Ranch. I’d always grab for the catalina.
Such a colorful salad…and the dressing sounds perfect for the citrus.
Thanks Karen.
