salmon and citrus salad

I love all citrus flavors.  I find that my taste buds change with the weather and during the hot summer months I want nothing more than fresh fruit, especially watermelon and citrus.

This dish was so fantastic and refreshing.  On a hot summer night I want nothing more than a light and fresh dinner.
