We love the flavors of a classic caprese salad; bright and sweet summer tomatoes with creamy mozzarella and herbaceous basil. In the dead of winter, when we’re craving that same brightness, we turn to seasonal citrus. Rounds of beautiful grapefruit and orange shingled with crisp fennel, mint and mozzarella create a beautiful side dish to any sophisticated winter dinner. Like any of our favorite dishes to make for guests, this one is incredibly easy to whip up, and you can prep all the produce and cheese in advance so all you have to do is assemble it when it’s time to eat.  

PS - if you can find blood oranges, they’re a beautiful addition! They’re considerably smaller than most navel oranges, so grab a few extra if you’re going to substitute.

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the rosé vinegar, extra virgin olive oil, chili paste and salt until combined. Set aside.
  2. To prepare the oranges and grapefruit, carefully remove the skin and white pith with a small pairing knife. Slice into ½-inch rounds, as pictured above.
  3. On a large platter, shingle the citrus and mozzarella in an alternating pattern: grapefruit slice, fennel slice, mozzarella slice, orange slice, fennel slice, mozzarella slice, and so on. Sprinkle with the mint leaves, and evenly drizzle the vinaigrette over the salad. Top with a hearty pinch of flakey sea salt, and serve.
