Citrus Salad with Orange Blossom and Pistachios

A dessert that tastes like a window opened onto a garden. Serve it very cold after a rich meal.

Ingredients

For the fruit

  • 3 oranges
  • 2 blood oranges (or 2 more oranges)
  • 1 pink grapefruit

For the syrup

  • 100 ml orange juice
  • 2 tbsp caster sugar
  • 1 tsp orange blossom water

To finish

  • 30 g pistachios, roughly chopped
  • A few mint leaves

Method

  1. Cut the peel and white pith from all the fruit. Slice into rounds over a bowl to catch the juice.
  2. Simmer the orange juice and sugar for 4 to 5 minutes until lightly syrupy. Cool, then stir in the orange blossom water.
  3. Arrange the fruit on a plate, pour the syrup over and chill for 20 minutes.
  4. Scatter with pistachios and mint before serving.
