Author Notes
A simple sweet and spicy dressing adds a pop of heat to citrus. —garlic and zest
Ingredients
-
12-15
whole assorted ripe citrus such as clementines, pink grapefruit, white grapefruit sumo oranges, navel oranges, blood oranges, honeybells, or any other type of citrus-y fruit
-
2 tablespoons
honey (such as orange blossom)
-
1/4 teaspoon
red pepper flakes
Directions
-
In a small bowl combine the honey and red pepper flakes. Microwave for 20 seconds and stir. Set aside.
-
Supreme the citrus by trimming the top and bottom of the fruit with a sharp paring knife; place cut side up. Slice lengthwise between flesh and peel, following fruit's natural contour; remove peel and pith.
-
Hold fruit over bowl to catch juice. Slice lengthwise between 1 segment and the membrane until you reach the center of the fruit.
-
Make a similar slice on the other side of the segment and drop the segmented fruit into a large bowl. Repeat for each segment and for each piece of citrus. (This may seem tedious, but it goes pretty quickly and you'll develop a rhythm.)
-
Once all segments are removed, squeeze juice from membrane into the bowl. Discard membranes and peels.
-
Microwave the honey for an additional 15 seconds to loosen it up, then pour the honey over the fruit and fold it in gently to combine.
