Ingredients
Scale
Fruits:
- 2 lbs (907 g) kiwis (about 10), peeled, sliced, and cut into halves or fourths
- 3 clementines, peeled & separated
- 2 pears, chopped into 1/2 pieces
- 2 apples, chopped into 1/2 pieces
- 1 pineapple, chopped into 1/2 pieces
- 1 pomegranate, seeded
Dressing:
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) honey
- 3 tablespoons (45 ml) lemon juice
Instructions
- Craft a tangy dressing by whisking honey and lemon juice in a compact mixing vessel until thoroughly blended.
- Slice and dice winter fruits into uniform, bite-sized pieces, ensuring a harmonious mix of textures and flavors.
- Transfer the chopped fruits into a spacious bowl, carefully setting aside a portion of pomegranate seeds for elegant decoration.
- Gently pour the prepared dressing over the fruit medley, using a soft folding technique to coat each piece without crushing delicate fruit segments.
- Artfully arrange the fruit salad in a pristine serving dish, strategically sprinkling the reserved pomegranate seeds across the top for a vibrant visual accent.
- Refrigerate the fruit salad for approximately one hour, allowing the flavors to meld and the mixture to reach an optimal chilled temperature.
- When ready to serve, present the salad immediately, ensuring the fruits retain their crisp freshness and the dressing maintains its glossy sheen.
Notes
- Swap honey with maple syrup for a vegan-friendly alternative that maintains the sweet, natural flavor profile.
- Choose firm, ripe fruits to prevent the salad from becoming too mushy or watery when chilled.
- Toss fruits gently to preserve their delicate texture and prevent bruising during mixing.
- Add toasted nuts like almonds or pecans for an extra crunch and nutritional boost without overwhelming the fresh fruit flavors.
