Fruit

This Christmas, I entertained very few carnivores, so I needed to prepare dishes that appealed to vegans and meat-lovers alike. Behold, the citrus, mint, and cilantro salad! A hybrid of Eastern and Western cuisine, this recipes marries flavors from Florida to South Asia. Citrus is at the peak of it’s season in the winter months, and when you combine mint, cilantro, peppers, and Mirin (a sweet rice wine, used as a condiment in Japanese cuisine) it makes for a fresh, mouth-watering, and spicy treat.
