Ingredients

  • zest of about ½ of a lime
  • juice of 1 lime (about 2 tablespoons)
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped shallots
  • 1½ tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped basil, washed and dried
  • 1 pound Satsumas (about 6 satsumas)
  • freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  • Make the dressing. In a small mixing bowl, combine the lime zest, lime juice, honey, basil, shallots and salt. Then add the oil and whisk.
  • Prepare the fruit. Peel the Satsumas, and then slice them horizontally, into slices that are about ¼ inch thick.
  • Assemble. Either mix the Satsuma slices into the dressing, or arrange them on a plate or platter and drizzle the dressing over them. Sprinkle with freshly ground black pepper.
