How to Make Maple Citrus Salad

  1. Wash and thinly slice 2 oranges and 1 grapefruit. Remove any seeds.
  2. In a large bowl, gently combine the orange and grapefruit slices.
  3. Add 1/4 cup of fresh cranberries (optional, for added tartness and color).
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of maple syrup, 1 teaspoon of orange extract, and 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon.
  5. Pour the maple-citrus dressing over the citrus slices and toss gently to coat.
  6. Add 1/4 cup of toasted pecans or walnuts (optional, for added crunch).
  7. Serve immediately for the freshest flavor, or chill for up to 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld.
