  • I made a much smaller version of this with sections of two fresh tangerines, 2 navel oranges, and 1 good-sized grapefruit, no kumquats. I squeezed 1/4 lemon and 1/2 lime juice into it instead of adding sections - otherwise the same. I served it over a bed of fresh baby spinach, and it was delicious. It was so juicy we drained a cupful of juice off with the mint sugar in it, before eating it as salad - and it was delicious! We served the salad alongside the Salmon and Leek Pie, also on this site. The combo would make a great luncheon!

  • Other nice citrus to add are pomello and oro blanco. Confession: I did not try this recipe but make citrus salad every winter, no dressing. It's the only way to get citrus fruit into my Family! Hint: Peel all the fruit in front of a good movie that you have seen before!

  • I made this salad and it was pretty good. However, instead of the mint sugar I sprinkled plain sugar over it and put in whole mint leaves. I made the mint sugar and it didn't taste right. I also left out the lemon and lime and just squeezed the juice from them over the salad. I agree that it was very time consuming, but it was a crowd pleaser. Paired really well with sparkling wine.

  • good - not great. i added kiwi for some color. to "a cook" - the lemons and limes are part of the salad. they were listed separately because only 2 of each are used, not 7 like the other fruits.

  • Just finished making this to serve with spicy shrimp for dinner. It was very good. I was going to put the mint sugar on the side only because I'm not a big fan, but decided to make the recipe as written. It really adds another dimension. The downside: it's very time consuming to prepare. It took me about an hour to peel and section all the fruit. This would be good to serve for a brunch or a special breakfast. I hope it keeps a day or two so we can have the leftovers tomorrow.
