Orange Salad Recipe

Vibrant, fresh, and extremely versatile, salads reflect the current season and make a fantastic meal or accompaniment any day of the year. If you’ve been under cold weather for the past weeks, this orange and mint salad is full of sunshine and perfect for a light dessert. The recipe is very flexible; you can add whatever fresh citrus is available at your local market, and if you’re a fan of mint, you can replace it with a dash of cranberry juice.
