Summer Citrus Salad Recipe! | Chicago Moms Network

This recipe from sisters Barbara and Carolina of Host to Perfection is, well, close to perfection. On hot summer nights, we’re always looking for recipes that don’t require us to turn on an oven—and this Summer Citrus Salad hits the spot. A nice alternative to a green salad, it’s full of immunity-boosting vitamin C. “We love this salad, because it’s not only refreshing and full of flavor but also looks beautiful, colorful and eye-catching,” says Barbara and Carolina.
