Ingredients
Scale
Fruits
- 1 cup green grapes
- 1 Cosmic Crisp apple, or any red apple, sliced
- 1 Granny Smith apple, sliced
- ½ cup red grapes
- 1/3 cup pomegranate arils
- 3 kiwis, peeled, sliced and halved
- 1 ½ cups raspberries, or de-stemmed and sliced strawberries
Dressing
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
Instructions
- Combine Fruits: In a large bowl, gently fold together the green grapes, sliced red apples, sliced Granny Smith apple, red grapes, pomegranate arils, and sliced kiwis until evenly mixed.
- Add Dressing: Drizzle the honey and lime juice over the fruit mixture and toss gently to coat all the fruit pieces with the dressing, enhancing their natural flavors.
- Add Berries: Carefully fold in the raspberries or sliced strawberries last, as they are delicate and can easily break apart, ensuring they remain intact for a beautiful presentation.
- Serve Immediately: Enjoy the Christmas fruit salad fresh for the best texture and flavor, or proceed to store it following the storage instructions if not serving right away.
Notes
- Store the salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1-2 days to keep it fresh.
- If the fruits are very ripe, consume the salad within 1 day to prevent spoilage.
- Use fresh, firm fruits to maintain the salad’s texture and appearance.
- Substitute honey with maple syrup for a vegan version.
- For extra zest, add a pinch of freshly grated ginger or a sprinkle of chopped fresh mint leaves.
