A refreshing citrus salad that crosses over from winter to spring.

Winter Citrus salad with warmed honey vinaigrette TasteArkansas (c)nwafoodie

Winter is holding tight and not letting go.  So tightly that right now a raging fire is dancing in the fireplace and there is a heater blowing at my feat underneath my desk as I type these words. It’s hard to believe that spring is just short of two days away.

Do you have a “go to” dish?  You know, the one or ones that you know by memory and you simply cannot get enough of it?  I have a couple of them and every once in a while we will have a meal and think, “will this one be the one?”

Do you think it is possible to add a salad to your “go to” list?  Would you be interested in a salad with winter citrus medley of thinly sliced oranges and grapefruit with creamy Danish blue cheese crumbles and walnuts topped off with a warmed honey vinaigrette on soft buttery butter lettuce?

One bite and you will be marveling in the salty, buttery, sweet, and tart mouthful with a warmed finish.

I’m hooked.

If you have a second, please jump on over to the TasteArkansas site to get the recipe for my Winter Citrus Salad with Warmed Honey Vinaigrette (sponsored site).

I think you will be hooked, too.

Happy last few days of winter.

Eat well, my friend. Eat well.

Lyndi

My name is Lyndi Fultz, and I live in the beautiful Ozark Mountains, which span Northwest Arkansas and Southwest Missouri.

I like to share small ideas for living simply and eating happily.

You will find that I talk a lot about food because we all need to eat. Why not add little bits of food joy where possible?

“Just like becoming an expert in wine–you learn by drinking it, the best you can afford–you learn about great food by finding the best there is, whether simply or luxurious. Then you savor it, analyze it, and discuss it with your companions, and you compare it with other experiences.” – Julia Child
