grapefruit – Audrey's 74 A blog by Giulia Doyle Tue, 31 Jan 2017 21:28:05 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=5.1.17 Citrus Salad /2016/01/01/citrus-salad/ Fri, 01 Jan 2016 13:38:42 +0000 http://www.audrey74.com/?p=3965 Citrus Salad Giulia DoyleHappy New Year and here’s to healthy but yummy resolutions! I don’t usually set a goal to eat only healthful once the New Year sets in, but after weeks of cookies, cakes, stuffing and gravy my body seems to crave something fresh and full of vitamins. Citrus is always a welcome reprieve from all the heavy options we’ve been consuming in the past few weeks.

This salad is simple, colourful and can be made ahead. No real recipe required; just choose a nice selection of citrus fruit (oranges, clementines, mandarins, grapefruit), peel and slice them, arrange on a platter and sprinkle with cinnamon and slivers of mint if you wish. Eat this at a brunch, for breakfast or with some protein, such as ham or chicken for lunch.Citrus Salad Giulia Doyle

]]> Watermelon and Red Grapefruit Agua Fresca /2015/07/22/watermelon-and-red-grapefruit-agua-fresca/ Wed, 22 Jul 2015 12:00:39 +0000 http://www.audrey74.com/?p=3804 Grapefruit Watermelon Giulia DoyleI saw this recipe on Sprouted Kitchen the other week. The combination intrigued me because I never thought of making watermelon juice. Why not, I wondered after – the perfect summer juice would be watermelon. Adding the sour notes of grapefruit and the ruby colours combined just made me want to try it even more. So I did on a hot, 30 plus degree Sunday. It was perfect! I had it straight up with ice and lime, Sarah adds sparkling water, which I’ll try next time and her suggestion for margaritas would be great if I was having people over for a summer party.

It’s sour, sweet, cold – perfect on a hot day!
