This Winter Fruit Salad is a vibrant, refreshing mix of seasonal fruits tossed in a light citrus-honey dressing. Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or dessert, it brings brightness and natural sweetness to cold days.

Ingredients

  • 2 apples, chopped
  • 2 pears, chopped
  • 2 oranges (navel or blood), peeled and segmented
  • 1/2 cup pomegranate seeds
  • 2 kiwis, peeled and sliced
  • 1 cup grapes, halved
  • 1 banana (optional, sliced just before serving)
  • 2 tablespoons lemon or orange juice
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
  • Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Peel and segment the oranges. Peel and dice the kiwi. Core and chop the apples and pears. Halve the grapes and prepare the pomegranate seeds.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together lemon or orange juice with honey or maple syrup to make the dressing.
  3. Place all the prepped fruit in a large bowl. Pour the citrus dressing over the fruit and toss gently to coat evenly.
  4. Chill the salad in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to let the flavors meld.
  5. Just before serving, add sliced banana if using and garnish with fresh mint leaves.

Notes

  • Add sliced banana just before serving to prevent browning.
  • Toss apples and pears in citrus juice to keep them from browning.
  • Try adding dried fruits or nuts for extra texture and flavor.
  • Use a yogurt-based dressing with cinnamon for a variation.
  • Best enjoyed fresh; store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
