Citrus fruit salad

INGREDIENTS
3 oranges
1 grapefruit
1 ruby grapefruit
2 clementines or mandarins
juice of 1 lime
1–2 tbsp sugar (optional)
lime zest, to decorate (optional)

METHOD
Using a small, sharp knife, cut away the skin and all the pith from the oranges and grapefruit. Cutting towards the centre of the fruit, remove each segment from its membrane (see page 18).
Place all the segments in a bowl, squeeze any juice from the membranes into the bowl, and discard the membranes.
Peel the clementines and divide into segments. Add to the bowl, then add the lime juice, and stir to coat. Sprinkle with sugar to taste (if using), then chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
Before serving, strain off any excess juice (this can be served separately as a refreshing drink) and sprinkle with lime zest, if using.
