How to Make Moroccan Citrus Fruit Salad

  1. Peel 2 large oranges and 1 large grapefruit, removing all pith (the white membrane).
  2. Carefully separate the fruit segments from the membranes over a bowl, collecting the juice that runs off.
  3. Squeeze any remaining juice from the membranes into a small bowl. You should have about 1/4 cup of juice.
  4. Add 1/4 cup fresh orange juice, 1 tablespoon orange blossom water, 2 tablespoons honey, 1 teaspoon vanilla bean seeds (or 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract), and 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon to the bowl with the membrane juice. Whisk until well combined.
  5. Strain the citrus mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a separate bowl to remove any pulp or seeds.
  6. Gently pour the strained juice over the segmented citrus fruit in the main bowl.
  7. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.
  8. Garnish with fresh mint leaves before serving.
