Notes

  1. Make ahead dressing – You can make the dressing days ahead and keep it in a glass jar in the fridge.
  2. Prep ahead fruit – You can peel and cut the oranges and grapefruits up to two days before. Just make sure to cover them in plastic wrap and keep them in an airtight container. For optimal freshness, store them in the crisper drawer in the fridge.
  3. Cut off all the pith – The pith is the white part on the outside of the fruit. When you peel the fruit, you may still be left with the pith. Make sure to cut it away as it’s bitter and you don’t want it as part of your salad.
  4. Assemble just before serving – This salad is best put together close to serving time. You can assemble it up to two hours before serving and keep it covered in the fridge. Add dressing just before serving.
