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.

May 6, 2012 at 7:08 amMy 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.

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.

May 6, 2012 at 7:06 amThanks 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.

Lea Ann says
May 13, 2012 at 9:10 amNo burger this time Chris. I’m having a dinner party this coming weekend with all sorts of sinful offerings … trying to behave before hand. :/
