Macadamia Free Citrus Fruit Salad with Honey-Ginger Dressing
Bright, jewel-toned citrus segments piled with shaved fennel and fresh mint — this salad is as stunning to look at as it is refreshing to eat. Navel oranges, blood oranges, and ruby red grapefruit are supremely the stars here, each one carefully segmented so every bite is clean, juicy, and free of bitter pith. The honey-ginger dressing ties everything together with a warm, aromatic kick, and the pinch of turmeric gives it a gorgeous golden hue without overpowering the fruit. Fennel might sound like an unexpected addition, but its delicate anise crunch is a genuinely brilliant contrast to all that sweet-tart citrus. Because this recipe is built entirely from fresh produce, pantry staples, and a drizzle of olive oil, there are no hidden ingredients to second-guess — just clean, whole-food flavor from start to finish. A finishing scatter of lime zest pulls the whole thing together and makes it feel like something you'd order at a fancy brunch spot. Serve it immediately so the colors stay vivid and the textures stay lively.

Instructions
- 1
Working over a large mixing bowl to catch any juices, cut the tops and bottoms off each orange, blood orange, and grapefruit, then stand each fruit upright and slice away the peel and white pith following the curve of the fruit. Hold each peeled fruit over the bowl and cut between the membranes to release the segments, letting them fall into the bowl. Squeeze the spent membranes over the bowl to extract any remaining juice, then discard the membranes.

Add the sliced fennel and torn mint leaves to the bowl with the citrus segments.
