Winter Fruit Salad with Fennel and Beets

When I hear fruit salad I usually think of spring and summer. But why not use the delicious flavors of winter fruits to brighten up any meal? This combination of fresh bright oranges with tart-sweet grapefruit, coupled with warm earthy beets with fennel and peppery arugula – really stop – I’m drooling myself and I didn’t even get to tell you about the bright fresh light lemon vinegarette.

Even though it was raining like crazy the day I made this, it was like a little ray of sunshine with our dinner. I made enough that we had some leftover and let me tell you, it made the perfect little fruity side salad with our eggs the next morning. Since it was so good for breakfast, I’ve added it to my running list of brunch items. Yes, I have a running brunch list because I love brunch more than any meal on the planet but that’s another day and another post.

For now, I hope you enjoy a little sunshine during this cold winter with my Winter Fruit Salad with Fennel and Beets.
