Winter Citrus Salad

Again, more citrus!  There is nothing better than eating citrus in the winter.  We need it!

Citrus fruits are rich in multiple nutrients such as vitamin C, flavonoids, and fiber which confer vascular protection, reduce inflammation, improve gastrointestinal function and health, and play an important role in preventing conditions like diabetes, cancer, neurological disease.
