Scale
Fruit
- 2 green apples, diced
- 2 cups green grapes, halved or quartered if large
- 2 green kiwis, peeled and diced
- 3 ounces raspberries
- 2 cups strawberries, quartered
- 1 cup pomegranate seeds
Dressing
- Juice of 1 orange
- 1 tablespoon honey
Instructions
- Prepare the Fruit: Ensure all fruit is thoroughly cleaned. Dice the apples, halve or quarter the grapes if they are large, peel and dice the kiwis, and quarter the strawberries. Combine all prepared fruit, along with the raspberries and pomegranate seeds, into a large mixing bowl.
- Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the fresh orange juice and honey until well combined to create a light, sweet dressing.
- Combine and Toss: Pour the orange and honey dressing over the fruit mixture and gently toss to coat all pieces evenly without bruising the delicate fruit parts.
- Chill and Store: If not serving immediately, transfer the salad to an airtight container and refrigerate. The salad will stay fresh for 2 to 3 days when refrigerated.
Notes
- Use fresh, ripe fruit for the best flavor and texture.
- Adjust the quantity of honey based on your preferred level of sweetness or substitute with maple syrup for a vegan option.
- Gently toss the fruit to avoid crushing more delicate berries like raspberries.
- This salad is best served chilled and can be prepared a few hours ahead.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container to maintain freshness up to 3 days.
