It’s citrus season in America, once again. Over the last couple of weeks, I’ve watched summer berries and stone fruit disappear from the supermarket and citrus, and apples take their place. I always feel a little sad to see fresh blueberries leave the shelves, however, I’m excited to embrace Autumn produce.

There’s something wonderful and underappreciated about the versatility of citrus, especially oranges. They add a sweet and acidic pep to any salad, come in an array of colors, and are affordable and abundant. Oranges are also full of vitamin C and fiber, to help fight off cold-weather bugs and tummy troubles. (Get the full rundown on cold-fighting foods here).

Last week I picked up navel and blood oranges from the supermarket and, threw together this delicious beet and orange salad. Mint and orange segments cut through the earthiness of the beets to create a balanced, flavorful mix. Feta brings saltiness, and almonds add crunch. Mix things up a little and enjoy this cool weather combo!
