While it's common to think of citrus as a summertime treat (who doesn't love ice cold lemonade on a hot day?), citrus is actually at its prime in the winter. So, how about we celebrate the four new inches of snow n the ground with a recipe for this bright and flavorful citrus salad? To make the salad you will need:

1 Cara Cara orange
1 Blood orange
1 Honeygold grapefruit
1 Pink grapefruit
2 tablespoons feta cheese, crumbled
1/4 cup pistachios, shelled and chopped
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon fresh rosemary leaves, chopped
 Slice ends off of all citrus. With the fruit standing up on a cut end, cut down the sides of each fruit to remove the skin. Slice citrus in 1/4 inch think pieces. Arrange on a platter. Drizzle honey over fruit. Sprinkle feta cheese and rosemary over the top. Enjoy!
