CITRUS SALAD WITH MINT SUGAR

For a recent dinner party I served Veal Osso Buco, a Caesar Salad, and this light dessert.  Do you ever find that during the holiday season you gain some weight?  Ah, yea!  Since I served the Veal Osso Buco over polenta and with crusty Italian bread I decided to go light on dessert.  My guests appreciated it!  Enjoy - this dish dances in your mouth.

CITRUS SALD WITH MINT SUGAR

Serves 6

2 White grapefruits
2 Pink grapefruits
6 large navel oranges

½ cup fresh mint leaves
¼ cup sugar

Peel all the skin and flesh off of your fruit.
Cut up segments and place in a bowl.  (This can be done 1 day ahead).
Place mint and sugar in food processor – blend until finely chopped.
Sprinkle mint and sugar mixture over fruit.

Serve in individual bowls.
