This week, I’m all about celebrating beautiful citrus and bringing some brightness into what has been a gloomy winter for some! Citrus season is still in full swing, so get out to your farmer’s market or grocery store and pick some up so you can make this Shrimp & Avocado Citrus Salad. I love this one because the sweet mango and creamy avocado help balance the acidity of the grapefruit segments and orange dressing. I picked arugula as the base of this salad since its slight bitterness works really well in bright salads that have some sweet elements like the mango and shrimp.

Even though it’s still officially winter here in the U.S., it’s starting to feel like spring is on its way! Last week we saw the mid-70s (followed by a few days of cold rain, ugh) and this week we’ll see the 80s in San Antonio. Wouldn’t it be great if we could stay in the 70s to 80s as we approach summer? Instead I’m sure we’ll be hitting the 100s on the regular (ugh again). Anywho, I hope you guys enjoy this bright spot in your day and happy early Valentine’s Day!
