1 Cara Cara orange
1 blood red orange
6 ounces ovoline fresh mozzarella, or ciliegine
6 rings of thinly sliced red onion, optional
8 fresh mint leaves
12 stems of fresh chives
1 Meyer lemon
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (Middle Earth Organics is my choice)
1 teaspoon honey (acacia suggested)
1/8 teaspoon fleur de sel
5 white peppercorns, fresh milled

1
Wash all your citrus. Next peel off the rind and pith from the oranges. Cut into about 1/4 inch thick slices.See the great video on Food52 from citrus and olive week for a great demonstration. Begin to arrange the slices on two plates with an alternation of orange type.
2
Next slice the ovoline (or ciliegine) into the same thickness. Interweave these slices amidst the oranges. Add the optional red onion slices in cloverleaf overlapped style if you like at the center.
3
Roll and then snip the washed mint leaves over the two plates. Snip the chives on top of the salad as well.
4
Squeeze half a lemon on top of each salad. Use the remaining rinds in another recipe.
5
Drizzle the honey across both plates. Drizzle the olive oil next the same way. Finish with a sprinkle of fleur de sel and fresh milled white peppercorn. Now you can really see the hope that spring is very near in every renewing bite.
