This recipe from sisters Barbara and Carolina of Host to Perfection is, well, close to perfection. After a weekend full of burgers, fries and cocktails, we’re craving something fresh and light for dinners and lunches this week—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.
