Citrus salad and ginger syrup

1In a saucepan over medium heat, dissolve sugar in water.

2Add ginger and simmer for 5 minutes.

3Remove from heat and set aside to steep for 1½ hours. For a less pronounced taste, remove ginger from syrup by filtering it before bringing to room temperature.

4In the meantime, cut citrus fruit into segments and place in large bowl.

5Use the required amount of chilled syrup to dress the citrus salad and toss well. Refrigerate.

6At serving time, divide citrus salad into individual bowls and garnish with pomegranate arils, if using.

7Try different varieties of citrus fruit to make your salad.

8How to cut citrus fruit into segments Use a sharp knife to cut away the peel and white pith from the citrus fruit, cutting as close as possible to the flesh so no white pith remains. Next, run knife blade between the thin membranes that separate each section to remove segments. Reserve the flesh and juice.
