Make More of Citrus Goodness with These Tantalizing Recipes

Citrus fruit is universally popular and for many people, it’s an irreplaceable food. From lemons and Navel oranges, to grapefruit and gold nugget mandarins, citrus is known for its distinct and refreshing taste. It is often enjoyed on its own, but has the versatility and flavour profile to bring everyday recipes to life in unexpected ways.

To showcase the versatility of California-grown citrus, Kimberly Schlegel Whitman, Sunkist lifestyle expert, has developed two quick and easy recipes that kids will love.

Citrus Salsa: The first step is to hollow out the peel of an orange. In a bowl, combine slices of Navel oranges, grapefruit and Cara Cara oranges. Then, add fresh lime juice and mix together. Once combined, add a scoop of the citrus salsa to the hollowed orange peel. Then, simply add some mint as a garnish and serve. It’s a delicious and nutrition snack that’s perfect for any play date.

Citrus Parfait: Simply add a layer of Cara Cara orange slices to the bottom of a small clear bowl. Then add a layer of Navel orange slices, followed by grapefruit slices. Place a dollop of whipped cream on top, garnish with some mint and serve.
