    **Helpful tips and common mistakes

    This everything bagel spice citrus salad doesn't have too many ingredients but every single one shines. There are only two components that need to be cooked: everything spiced croutons and pesto cannellini beans. Don't worry! Even these elements are incredibly easy to prepare.

    Prepare everything spiced croutons just as you would normal croutons but with the addition of everything spice. I love using brioche but you can swap it out for any bread you prefer. Some of the spices might come off after baking but you can recycle them and top them on your salad later on.

    pesto beans

    For the cannellini beans, I used store-bought pesto to save some time. Simply warm up the beans and season them with lemon juice, pesto, salt, and pepper.

    citrus

    If you're making this everything bagel spice citrus salad during citrus season, go wild with the fruits! Use cara cara oranges, blood orange, navel oranges, or even grapefruit and they would all work beautifully.
