What We’re Making: Winter Citrus Salad
The perfect way to brighten up a chilly evening, a winter citrus salad adds color and flavor to every plate. While the easy-to-make dish can take on many permutations, we’re partial to the version developed by Denver and Claudia Sheddy, the duo behind Fort Worth, Texas-based meal delivery and catering company My Sweet Roots. Here, they outline how to make the salad— which uses four different types of citrus, avocado, and cilantro, red onion, and feta for extra flavor—at home.
