BrightRx: Citrus and Fennel Salad with Sumac and Herb Vinaigrette
[open type="rte"]

June's BrightRx is dedicated to summer citrus. We are embracing oranges, lemons and more to brighten up our meals in these warmer days. Juicy and refreshing, citrus adds a beautiful burst to these dishes in both color and flavor. We love that it also serves as an excellent source of vitamin C to boost our immune systems. We asked our friend Nina Anaker, co-founder of Ziza Los Angeles, a Moroccan-inspired food business with an urban farm and a zero waste kitchen, to share her favorite citrus recipe.
