WINTER CITRUS SALAD WITH HONEY DRESSING

Winter Citrus Salad with Honey Dressing image

This citrus salad requires only that you overcome the notion that salads must be green; it's a novel and wonderful antidote to sorry-looking lettuce. If you're lucky and can find blood oranges, use them; same with the odd, supremely delicious and usually quite pricey pomelos.

Ingredients

2 blood oranges or tangerines
1 pink grapefruit
1 navel orange
Salt

3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon sherry vinegar
1/2 teaspoon honey
Lime or lemon juice to taste
