Spring is starting to appear everywhere I turn, from the tulips popping up on the side walks of Portland, to the produce section of my local grocery store. I love me some good comfort food, especially during cold winters, but at some point you need a break from the heaviness. There is something so refreshing about a meal that only needs a few ingredients. I tend to think that if produce grows during the same season, they probably taste delicious if you eat them together! Today I prepared a super bright and fresh salad for lunch. With every bite, I could feel me shaking away the winter blues. Here’s what you need to put together this colorful citrus salad. Hello Spring!
