Sunshine Fruit Salad with Ginger-Lime Dressing

Sunshine Fruit Salad with Ginger-Lime Dressing

Winter time is all about citrus. Oranges, grapefruit, lemons, limes, I can’t get enough of them. I also feel like I need all the extra Vitamin C they provide. With a batch of snow looming, I decided to make a salad to brighten things up around here. Winter days are short, and this salad makes me think of warmer, sunnier days. I added a pineapple to the grapefruit and oranges and finished it with a ginger-lime dressing, sweetened with a little honey. I had a big bowl for breakfast, but I could see this salad making a nice, light dessert, too.

Sunshine Fruit Salad with Ginger-Lime Dressing

1 pineapple, peeled, cored and diced
4 or 5 grapefruit, peeled
4 or 5 oranges, peeled
Dressing:
½ c. lime juice
¼ c. honey
1 t. grated ginger

Place pineapple in a medium bowl. Once the grapefruit are peeled, break into segments and peel off any white membrane. Place segments in bowl with the pineapple. After orange are peeled, cut in half and remove the white pith in the middle. Cut into bite-sized pieces and place in bowl with the other fruit. Drain off any juice- I drink the juice. Make the dressing by combining the lime juice, honey and ginger and whisking until smooth. Toss with the fruit and chill until ready to serve.
