Hi, I’m Catherine.
Mama of three. A Kentucky girl living in California. Here’s what I know: all kids can be great eaters and mealtime must be easy. I create simple, healthy recipes the whole family will love.
Winter Citrus Salad
I've made this dish on Christmas Eve for about the past 10 years. Even before I could convince my kids to eat salad they would devour this one (well, almost. Chloe still eats everything but the arugula as she considers it "too spicy").
This light and healthy Winter Citrus Salad is really bright in color and perfect for the season, featuring a variety of incredible winter fruits like crunchy pomegranate seeds and tangy citrus like cara cara or blood oranges. The past few holidays several family members asked me if the recipe was on weelicious so they could make it themselves. Every year I promised I would add it but mommy brain always sets in and I forget. Well, not this year!
See for yourself why this gets everyone in my family so excited.
This recipe is part of a SURPRISE baby shower for Bev who is having twins! Congratulations, Mama! We all got together to throw her a virtual baby shower, so go ahead and check out the entire menu below!

Gorgeous salad!
Beautiful! Can't wait to try this!
Sorry to ask about substitutions, but can I use red wine vinegar by any chance? Thank you! I love all that you do!
I think that would work! It will be a different flavor, but it should be fine. :)
Yum! I definitely be trying this. I've been craving and eating salads like crazy this pregnancy, and this one has now made it to the top of the list. Looks like I'm going to the store tonight!
Sorry! Pregnancy brain... I WILL definitely be trying this!
Thanks for shigrna. Always good to find a real expert.
I will be trying this one for sure. Looks like a great combination of flavors! Looking forward to the day my little one will eat salad, too. :-)
I love winter citrus! This looks so refreshing and delicious!
Looking forward to cooking!
I can't find any blood oranges, so I'm going to use some cara cara oranges. It shouldn't change the flavors too much right?
Just saw cara caras in the ingredients, so never mind!

I absolutely love the idea of having a special salad for Christmas Eve! We always did tamales and chili at our house, but my hubby and I are still trying to find out perfect meal. This is definitely part of it!
I am loving the fennel in here alongside the winter fruits. Gorgeous salad!
I love that this is part of your Christmas Eve menu. I love salads and this one looks absolutely amazing! Thanks for being part of Bev's celebration!

Thank you for the sensible critique. Me & my neighbor were just preparing to do some research on this. We got a grab a book from our area library but I think I learned more from this post. I am very glad to see such wonderful info being shared freely out there.
