Ingredients
- 3-4 citrus fruit oranges, grapefruits, pink grapefruits, pomelos, clementines, blood oranges and even kumquats are all good here - though I would stay away from anything too small and soft, like mandarins, various kinds and sizes
- 1 vidalia onion sweet white onion, or ½ a purple onion (I have made this both with and without the onions, and trust me, they're necessary; but if you only have regular yellow onions, then don't use more than ½
- lime juice and zest of 1
- ¼ cup pistachio
- 3 thyme sprigs
- ⅛ cup extra virgin olive oil the fruitiest you've got
- sea salt to taste, Maldon
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika or cayenne pepper powder
Instructions
- With a sharp paring knife, cut the peel away from the citrus, taking care to remove all the pith. Slice the citrus into ½-inch-thick slices. Slice the onion into half-moon crescents. Arrange the citrus and onions slices interchangeably on a big platter in several layers.
- Chop pistachios and thyme roughly, and sprinkle on the fruit. Top with grated lime zest, smoked paprika or cayenne pepper powder. Drizzle olive oil and lime juice.
- Finish the salad off with a generous sprinkle of Maldon sea salt.
