Springtime Citrus Salad with Olives and Lime Vinaigrette

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

It’s mid-March and in the south, we aren’t seeing fabulous fruit just yet but the citrus is banging!

So, while I wait another week or two for the best berries I thought I would use some navel and blood oranges to make a bright, light, and citrusy salad to get my taste buds ready for spring!

Bright colorful arugula salad topped with olives and two types of oranges.

For this citrus salad, I used oranges but you could absolutely add in some grapefruit. I highly recommend the olives too, they add a really nice salty and briny flavor that pairs perfectly with the citrus.

For the salad dressing, you can find my homemade lime vinaigrette recipe here!
