Citrus season is upon us, so today I’m sharing a delicious way to make the most of it. We have a beautiful array of citrus, from blood oranges to zesty grapefruit, sliced and salted for maximal flavor. The citrus platter gets drowned in a pleasantly sharp, ginger honey dressing emulsified with good-quality olive oil and the juice from the leftover citrus peels.

If you’re looking for a quick 15 minute salad thats refreshing, tangy, sweet, yet savory then I have the recipe for you. This citrus salad comes together quickly and it’s the perfect centerpiece for your next dinner party. You can find the full recipe on my Substack newsletter:

You may have seen my work on TV, Food Network, NYT Cooking, Food52 and more. I make recipes more fun and accessible for home cooks. I immigrated to the US from Transylvania, Romania—where I lived most of my life—in 2021 to pursue my passion for cooking full-time. Here you’ll find a collection of approachable recipes, from weeknight dinners to desserts, you’ll come back to over and over again. Some of my most popular recipes include my chicken paprikash, orange chicken roast with fennel and shallots or butter beans all vodka. Some recipes are inspired by my Romanian-Hungarian upbringing, and most definitely all come with that Transylvanian resourcefulness! I love a good thrift, so make sure to catch my thrift hauls every Sunday on my Instagram!
