Simple Pineapple Citrus Salad

This recipe is so easy and delicious! One of the best parts? You’ll only need 4 ingredients! Lately, I’ve been trying out different combinations and ways to serve fresh fruit and vegetables. For some reason, one of my kids has stopped eating most fruits. I ask why and they just say they don’t like them. I’m not sure if it is just boredom with the same fruits or not wanting to peel an orange. So, I decided to try a citrus salad. This kid also happens to love pineapple so I thought it would be a great addition with the citrus. All the sudden they do like oranges! The sweet pineapple helps balance out the sour grapefruit and I really love the flavors of everything blended together.

When it comes to pineapple, fresh is best. If you are picking out a pineapple at the store and want to use it right away then you’ll want one that isn’t completely bright green. As it ripens it will turn more golden and have a little give when you press on the sides. For the citrus, I used red grapefruit along with clementines and navel oranges. It really is fast, easy and healthy! I hope you enjoy it!
