Ingredients

• 3 whole Oranges
• 2 whole Grapefruits
• 2 whole Blood oranges
• 1 whole Lemon
• 10 leaves Fresh mint leaves
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 1 teaspoon Orange blossom water
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons Pistachios (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Carefully peel the oranges, grapefruits, and blood oranges, removing all the white pith. Slice them into thin rounds and remove any seeds. Arrange the slices on a large serving platter, slightly overlapping them.

Step 2

Zest the lemon and set the zest aside. Then, squeeze the juice from the lemon over the citrus slices to enhance their flavor.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix the honey, orange blossom water, and ground cinnamon. Drizzle this mixture evenly over the citrus fruits on the platter.

Step 4

Finely chop the fresh mint leaves and sprinkle them over the salad. If using pistachios, roughly chop them and sprinkle on top for added crunch and texture.

Step 5

Garnish with the reserved lemon zest for a final touch of brightness.

Step 6

Serve immediately as a refreshing side dish, dessert, or breakfast. You can also chill the salad for 15 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld together.
