Scale
Fruits
- 2 green apples
- 2 cups green grapes
- 2 green kiwis
- 3 ounces raspberries
- 2 cups strawberries
- 1 cup pomegranate seeds
Dressing
- Juice of 1 orange
- 1 tablespoon honey
Instructions
- Prepare the fruit: Ensure all the fruit is cleaned thoroughly. Dice the green apples, cut the grapes in halves or quarters if large, peel and dice the kiwis, and quarter the strawberries. Combine all prepared fruit into a large bowl along with the raspberries and pomegranate seeds.
- Make the dressing and combine: In a small bowl, whisk together the orange juice and honey to create a light dressing. Pour the dressing over the fruit mixture and gently toss everything to coat evenly. Store in the refrigerator if not serving immediately. The salad stays fresh for 2 to 3 days when refrigerated.
Notes
- For best flavor, use fresh and ripe fruits.
- You can substitute honey with maple syrup for a vegan option.
- To prevent the apples from browning, toss them immediately in the dressing.
- This salad can be made a few hours ahead to allow flavors to meld.
- Serve chilled for optimal freshness and taste.
