Citrus and Pomegranate Salad

This refreshing Citrus and Pomegranate Salad marries together citrus, pomegranate, and mint.

I was gifted with some beautiful grapefruits and oranges recently (which is a wonderful recurring theme in my life – I love free food), so I knew I had to make a salad. Since I have some pomegranate seeds in my freezer, I figured, why not make a Citrus and Pomegranate Salad.

I usually don’t eat sugar on grapefruit, because I love their tart flavor, but for recipe sake, I thought I’d break convention. Feel free to add more sugar than the suggested amount.

Since I don’t normally add sugar to my grapefruit, this was quite sweet for me. Actually, after making this salad, I think I may add a little sugar from now on, especially if it has mint, lime zest, and lime juice mixed with it.

I just happen to have a mint plant in my front yard (another gift, I believe), so I had to add it’s wonderful fresh flavor to this salad.

Key limes are one of my favorite go-to sweet additions. You could substitute another lime variety, but by using key limes you may not need as much sugar.
