Ingredients

Scale

Fruit

  • 1 1/2 cups quartered grapes
  • 1 1/2 cups pomegranate arils
  • 1 1/2 cups diced Honeycrisp apple (tossed in 1/2 tablespoon lemon juice)
  • 1 1/2 cups mandarin or tangerine segments, halved
  • 1 1/2 cups diced mango
  • 1 1/2 cups diced kiwi

Other Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh mint
  • 2 tablespoons orange juice
  • 1 teaspoon orange zest
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1–2 tablespoons honey (depending on preferred sweetness)
  • 1 teaspoon poppy seeds

Instructions

  1. Prepare the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the orange juice, orange zest, lemon juice, honey, and poppy seeds until well combined to create a sweet and tangy dressing.
  2. Prepare the fruit: Toss the diced Honeycrisp apple with 1/2 tablespoon lemon juice to prevent browning. Combine the quartered grapes, pomegranate arils, apple, mandarin or tangerine segments, diced mango, diced kiwi, and chopped fresh mint in a large mixing bowl.
  3. Toss the salad: Pour the dressing over the mixed fruit and gently toss until all ingredients are evenly coated with the dressing.
  4. Serve or store: Enjoy the winter fruit salad immediately for the freshest taste, or refrigerate in an airtight container and consume within 5 days for best quality.

Notes

  • Adjust honey quantity to your preferred sweetness level.
  • Tossing the apples in lemon juice helps to prevent them from browning.
  • This salad is best served fresh but can be stored refrigerated for up to 5 days.
  • Feel free to swap fruits based on seasonal availability.
  • Add a handful of chopped nuts or seeds for extra crunch, if desired.
