Here is a take on a great winter salad: Winter Citrus Salad With Black Pepper, Feta, and Mint.  Citrus,  is an especially great addition in your diet in the winter months because it provides an excellent source of Vitamin C to help boost you immune system.

Kosher salt
2 tablespoons minced fresh mint leaves
3 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
