I’ve fallen out of the blogging beat lately. As I mentioned in my last post, long hours at the office have left me feeling drained. And uninspired. I kept trying to come up with a spectacular dish or dessert to share, but I was too tired to even think of anything. It eventually dawned on me that at times like this what I need to do is focus on simplicity.
And so I made myself this simple citrus salad. It’s perfect because 1) it’s really, really easy to make 2) it’s delicious and 3) the vitamin C will give me the boost I need to tackle more complex projects, like a sandwich.
Citrus Salad
- 2 large oranges, sliced
- 2 pink grapefruits, segmented (for a tutorial on segmenting check out this post at A Thought for Food
- 2 tbsp orange juice
- 2 tbsp wildflower honey
- a handful of pistachios
- Mix the orange juice and honey together. Toss the orange slices and grapefruit segments with the pistachios and dress with the honey mixture.
Enjoy!

So colourful and simple salad! I love it :)
Hope your long office hours are shorter soon ;)
Grapefruit is so underrated, and you’re right, the citrus fruits are a good boost of health! I should have breakfasts like this more often!
A nice light healthy salad, just how I like them!
Sometimes simplicity is best! Such a beautiful and refreshing salad!
So pretty and very appealing, I would love a fresh healthy citrus salad today;-)
Beautiful photos! I love how simple and elegant this dish is.
I can totally empathise with you as I am in a similar position. I think I’ll go home and make this wonderful salad! Just looking at the vibrant colours has perked me up :)
Lol to #3. That is so cute! It looks so happy, too. Just the kind of thing I needed to see. My job’s been wearing me down, also.
