As spring is upon us, this week we're featuring a supremely simple treat
that can be enjoyed in combination with any of your efforts to clean and
lighten from the winter months - a spicy citrus salad recipe. The vitamin C in the citrus fruit serves as
an important antioxidant in the body, helping to effectively remove toxins.
The cinnamon in this recipe has been shown to reduce blood sugar levels and
even help combat insulin resistance.
Spicy Citrus Salad Recipe
- Peel and segment (removing rind, pith, and skin) 1 orange or 1⁄2 grapefruit per person.
- Arrange citrus segments on a plate. You may add mint or cilantro leaves as a garnish.
