I am not a fan of winter. I’m like a tropical flower — I love it when the weather is 76 and up with a nice bit of humidity. With that in mind, winter is just plain tough for me. I also hate that my favorite fruits and vegetables are out of season…except citrus! It’s actually prime time for citrus fruits. A squeeze of juice or grated zest adds an amazing brightness to almost any dish. In particular, oranges are like a ray of sunshine.
Not only that, when you eat the fruit, you get a substantial amount of fiber and 85% of your DV for vitamin C! So grate a bit of zest and add it to your pilaf, add a squeeze of the juice to your guacamole, and section the fruit for your salad. Need more inspiration?
