This salad feels like eating sunshine on a plate – and if it doesn’t brighten your day, I honestly don’t know what will… Bursting with flavor and clean, crisp freshness, it’s a perfect way to pay homage to Citrus Season. Don’t worry about the specifics of the citrus, just use what you have on hand and make the salad your own!

Sweet, tangy and an absolute feast for the eyes... this Citrus Salad is a beautiful and nourishing way to spoil you and yours! Please note that if you are making your own almond ricotta, you will need a high-powered blender.

Salad
 1 grapefruit, peeled & sliced into 1/4" rounds
 1 cara cara orange, peeled & sliced into 1/4" rounds
 1 small blood orange, peeled & sliced into 1/4" rounds
 1 navel orange, peeled & sliced into 1/4" rounds

 high-grade extra virgin olive oil
 large flaky sea salt (like Maldon)
Almond Ricotta
 ½ cup blanched slivered almonds
 ¼ cup water, plus more as needed
 ½ small lemon, juiced (~2 tbs)
 1 tbsp nutritional yeast
 2 tsp garlic salt

Almond Ricotta
1

Add all of your almond ricotta ingredients to your high-powered blender or food processor. Blend until smooth, leaving a little bit of chunky almonds in there for texture. This may take quite a few minutes if you need to stop down and scrape the sides. Feel free to add more water as needed. You want to be able to dollop your cheese on top of your salad, so the consistency needs to be soft but firm enough to scoop.
