Ingredients

4 Blood Oranges
3 Cara Cara Oranges
2 Grapefruit
1/2 Cup Roasted, Salted Pistachios chopped
1 Bulb Fennel
2 Tbsp Honey or more, to taste
1 Tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Pinch Sea Salt about 1/4 - 1/2 tsp

Instructions

To begin, prep your citrus. Wash and dry the oranges and grapefruit
Begin by slicing off the top and bottom of the fruit, creating flat surfaces for stability. Next, carefully run your knife down the side of the fruit, following its curve, and removing strips of the peel from top to bottom.
Once all of the rind is cut off, cut the fruit into slices. You can either keep the slices whole or cut them in half, into semi-circles.
Then, remove the outer layer of the fennel bulb and wash the fennel well, then dry. Carefully using a mandoline slicer, slice the fennel into very thin rounds. Once you have about 1/2 cup of fennel, you can chop up it up into smaller pieces if you'd like. Or, leave the fennel as rings. (Set aside the rest of the fennel to use in another recipe, if there's any left over!)
Lastly, prep your pistachios by giving them a rough chop.
Arrange your oranges, grapefruit, and fennel onto a serving tray. Top with the chopped pistachios, then drizzle on the honey, olive olive, and a pinch of sea salt.
Serve, and enjoy!

Notes

The measurements here are flexible and don't need to be strictly obeyed. Assemble the citrus and fennel, then measure the olive oil and honey with your heart. Of course, I always try to put in exact ingredients for those uncomfortable with freestyling in the kitchen, but this salad is very forgiving! :)
