Ingredients
Fruit
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 1 cup peeled and diced kiwi fruit
- 1 cup mandarin oranges (drained, or fresh mandarin/navel orange segments)
- 1 cup diced apples or pears
- 1 cup halved grapes
- 1/2 cup pomegranate seeds
Dressing
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 tablespoons orange juice (or lemon juice for variation)
- Light pinch of cinnamon
Instructions
- Prepare the Fruit: Place all the prepared fruits in a large serving bowl. If using pears, toss them lightly with a squeeze of lemon juice to prevent browning before adding them to the salad.
- Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, orange juice, and a light pinch of cinnamon until well combined to create a sweet and tangy dressing.
- Toss the Salad: Pour the dressing over the fruit and gently toss to ensure all fruit pieces are coated evenly.
- Chill and Serve: The fruit salad can be made a couple of hours ahead of time. Keep refrigerated and serve chilled. Note that the colors of some fruits may mix slightly as the salad sits.
Notes
- Fruit selection is adaptable depending on availability and preference.
- If using pears, toss them in lemon juice to prevent browning.
- Lemon juice can be used instead of orange juice in the dressing for a different citrus flavor.
- The salad can be prepared ahead, but color bleeding between fruits may occur over time.
