We love every single one of them, but are especially crazy about clementines. Naturally, they're easy to eat and full of good-for-you stuff just like they are. But we've taken it a step further and created a salad based on that fresh flavor. Pistachios, a cumin-laced dressing and a few fresh strawberries just make a party on a plate.
