Citrus Salad Recipe

citrus salad

Every time Gaby and I get together to host some sort of party (as seen here, here and, most recently, here), we typically use the menu as the jumping off point. While this might be a slightly backwards way of tackling an event, for us it’s one of the things we’re most excited about, and we always have a list a mile long of recipes we’ve been dying to try.  A variation on this citrus salad recipe, from Design Love Fest’s archives, has long been on said list, and I’m thrilled to announce that it’s even better than it sounds. With photos from Heidi Lau, grab the recipe below.
