Fruit saladconjures up images of sad bowls of grapes and watery melon—but it doesn’t have to be that way. This sliced citrus with pistachio dust (from Kim Kushner’s new cookbook,The Modern Table) is proof that the dish can be gorgeous, delicious and impossibly easy to make. Serve it as a side or call it dessert.
“What in God’s name is pistachio dust? Exactly as it sounds,” she writes. “Pistachiosare chopped ultrafine until they transform into a bright green magical dust that adds incredible flavor to ordinary foods such asorangesand grapefruit. Sometimes the simplest desserts are the most loved.”
