Ingredients

Directions

  1. Finely grate the zest from one orange into a small mixing bowl.
  2. Add 2 tablespoons of sugar to the orange zest and mix well to combine.
  3. Section the grapefruits and oranges using a sharp knife, removing all membranes and pith.
  4. Reserve approximately 1/4 cup of the natural juice released from sectioning the citrus fruits.
  5. Pour the reserved citrus juice into the bowl with the sugared orange zest and stir until the sugar dissolves.
  6. Peel and slice the kiwi fruits into thin rounds.
  7. Hull and halve the strawberries if they are large, or leave them whole if small.
  8. In a large serving bowl, gently combine the grapefruit sections, orange segments, kiwi slices, strawberries, and chopped mint.
  9. Pour the citrus-zest dressing over the fruit mixture and toss gently to coat evenly.
  10. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld before serving.
