Winter Citrus Salad

My husband Ken was a citrus farmer as a young man - his family still owns an orange grove in Exeter, California. His motto is “an orange a day” for good health. I created this salad as a way to feature his favorite fruits.

1 pink grapefruit and 1 large orange - peeled, de-veined & deseeded

4 kiwis, peeled

5 T. purchased raspberry vinaigrette

1 t. honey, warmed

4 oz. fresh mixed baby lettuce

In a medium sized bowl, cut each grapefruit or orange wedge into 2-3 bite-size pieces. Cut each kiwi into 8 pieces. Toss with 2T raspberry vinaigrette and honey. Set aside for up to one hour at room temperature. Toss greens with remaining vinaigrette and divide onto six plates. Spoon the citrus fruit mixture onto the center of the greens. Serve six friends this refreshing salad along with our Sauvignon Blanc – it will surely drive away the winter blues!
