Five Spice

Five Spice Citrus Salad

Five Spice Citrus Salad - Slice of Honey Blog

It has been such a long and rainy winter here in San Antonio. I’m not used to needing a heavy coat for more than a day or two at a time, let alone weeks at a time. I find myself daydreaming about bright colors and warmer climates. I won’t be going on a tropical vacation any time soon so my next best bet is eating bright, flavorful fruit.Five Spice Citrus Salad - Slice of Honey Blog

We are currently right in the middle of prime orange and grapefruit season. There are so many varieties of citrus available and I took full advantage of that for this recipe. I love the variety of colors as well as flavors from these fruits. Given the tartness that sometimes comes along with citrus, I wanted to contrast that with a little bit of sweet and a little bit of spice. The result is a perfect dish to serve with brunch or eat as a snack.

Tips:

  • Place some paper towels under the edges of your cutting board, this will help to catch any juice that runs off the edge as you’re cutting the fruit.
  • Feel free to mix and match your citrus fruits to your liking or based on what is available seasonally. The main idea is variety.

Ingredients
  

  • 6 oranges (I used blood oranges, tangelos, sumo citrus)
  • 3 grapefruit (I used one large and two small)
  • 1/4 cup pomegranate seeds
  • 1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1 Tablespoon fresh mint leaves
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon Chinese five spice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • Cut citrus fruits into ¼' slices, removing seeds as they are found. Cut rinds off of slices then place slices on paper towels to absorb excess any juice. Move citrus slices to a serving platter and top with pomegranate, feta and mint. In a small bowl, mix together honey, Chinese five spice and vanilla. Drizzles honey mixture over citrus salad as desired.
