Description
A refreshing winter fruit salad showcasing seasonal fruits, perfect as a side or light meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 large apple, cored and chopped (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- 1 large pear, cored and chopped
- 2 oranges, segmented
- 1 grapefruit, segmented
- 1 cup pomegranate seeds
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (optional)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the fruit: Begin by washing all the fruit thoroughly. Core and chop the apple and pear into bite-sized pieces, and segment the oranges and grapefruit, collecting the juices.
- Combine ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, gently combine the chopped apple and pear with the citrus segments and pomegranate seeds.
- Make the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together honey (if using) and lemon juice until combined.
- Dress the salad: Drizzle the dressing over the fruit mixture, and gently toss to coat without bruising the fruit.
- Chill briefly: Allow the salad to sit for about 10 minutes at room temperature, which allows the flavors to meld, enhancing the overall taste.
- Serve: Garnish with fresh mint leaves before serving, if desired.
Notes
Use fruits at their peak ripeness for the best flavor. Consider adding nuts or spices for a creative twist.
