DeleteEveryne needs some sunshine in their life and I think this could do it! Thanks Cheri!
ReplyDeleteThanks Abbe, we certainly get our share of sunshine here in Phoenix. Lol!
DeleteAs I said on Instagram, this is my all time favorite salad. Although I use a vinaigrette on mine, made with orange juice. It's gorgeous too, makes such a lovely presentation!
ReplyDeleteHi Barbara, your vinaigrette sounds wonderful, that would be great on other salads as well.
DeleteI've been drooling over this since I saw it on Instagram - so beautiful and delicious sounding! I had my first cara cara orange when my husband and I visited Phoenix in late December - total game changer. Now I'm on the lookout for them because of how delicious they are :)
ReplyDeleteHi Phi, I saw your travel post on Arizona, well done my friend. Isn't it pretty here?
DeleteOne look at that salad and who wouldn't smile. I'm sure it would be terrific with any combo of citrus. Since all of the citrus trees in my neighborhood are dripping with fruit I don't see any excuse not to find out. GREG
ReplyDeleteThat's right you probably have access to tons of citrus and maybe even avocadoes, I'm jealous. Thanks Greg!
DeleteThis citrus salad is beautiful, Cheri!
ReplyDeleteThanks Nancy, we enjoyed this salad very much.

DeleteI still have some blood oranges in my fridge, perfect for this delicious looking salad. I love the photo!
ReplyDeleteThanks Gerlinde, I had such a hard time with this photo, I took dozens of them. The plate came out darker than I wanted it too.
DeleteWhat a pretty and yummy looking citrus salad, Cheri. I can have this salad anytime of the year. Can't wait to try this :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Anu, citrus certainly breaks up the winter doesn't it.
DeleteCheri, I've been seeing a few gorgeous citrus salads on TV like yours right here and wishing I could have a platter. But I don't have the knife skills or patience I think! This really is so bright and pretty. Thanks for making and showing it to us! Enjoy your week.
ReplyDeleteThanks Monica, that big white platter is hard to photograph, but the size is perfect for entertaining.
Deletei always feel like i can't eat ENOUGH citrus during the winter--i'm never satisfied! this is as beautiful as it is nutritious and tasty. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Grace, citrus certainly does chase the winter blues away;)
