Citrus & Pistachio Salad

As summer starts to wind down, and the novelty of outdoor barbecues begin to wear off, we here at Gourmet Orchards start to look for ways to liven up our plates and put our creative juices to work. With that in mind, and taking into account that we are a fruit company, we aimed to create a salad recipe that would curb our craving for a fresh salad, and appeal to our desire to shake things up.
