This Winter Fruit Salad is a colorful and refreshing medley of seasonal fruits, perfect for holiday gatherings or a healthy snack!
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 large apple peeled and sliced
- 1 large pear sliced
- 2 large bananas peeled and sliced
- 3 large kiwis peeled and sliced
- 3 large clementines peeled and separated
- 1 cup pomegranate seeds
- 1 tablespoon honey optional
- 3 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 tablespoon poppy seeds
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint
Instructions
- Start by washing all your fruits thoroughly. Peel and slice the apple and pear, ensuring they are cut into bite-sized pieces. Then, peel and slice the bananas, kiwis, and clementines. For the clementines, simply separate them into segments.
- In a large mixing bowl, gently combine the sliced apple, pear, bananas, kiwis, clementines, and pomegranate seeds. Be careful not to mash the bananas as you mix to keep the salad looking fresh and appealing.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the honey and lime juice until well combined. This dressing adds a lovely zing to your salad.
- Drizzle the honey-lime dressing over the fruit mixture. Use a spatula or spoon to gently toss the salad, ensuring that all the fruits are evenly coated with the dressing.
- Sprinkle the poppy seeds and chopped fresh mint over the top of the salad for added texture and flavor. Give it a final gentle toss to incorporate these ingredients.
- Transfer the fruit salad to your serving dish or bowl. It’s best enjoyed fresh, but you can refrigerate it for a short while if needed. Serve it as a side dish, dessert, or a healthy snack!
