A vibrant and light fruit salad featuring sweet grapes, tart pomegranate, juicy berries, apples, and kiwi, dressed in a honey-orange poppyseed mixture, perfect for the holiday table.
Ingredients
Fresh Fruit Ingredients
- 2 cups green grapes Wash gently before use.
- 4 kiwis, peeled and sliced
- 2 apples, sliced and de-seeded Toss in a little orange juice to slow browning.
- 2 cups raspberries Handle gently to avoid squishing.
- 2 cups sliced strawberries Use firm strawberries for better texture.
- 1 cup pomegranate arils (about 1 pomegranate, seeded) Refer to the instructions for seeding tips.
Dressing Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1/4 cup fresh orange juice Use freshly squeezed for best flavor.
- 1 teaspoon poppy seeds Can substitute with chia seeds if needed.
Instructions
Preparation
- Wash and prep all fruit gently so nothing gets squished.
- In a small bowl, stir together the honey, orange juice, and poppy seeds until smooth.
Serving
- Carefully combine all the fruit in a large bowl.
- Pour the dressing over the fruit and carefully mix once or twice to coat.
- If you won’t serve right away, cover the fruit and the dressing separately and chill for up to 6 hours. Mix just before serving.
Notes
Serve in a large glass bowl for color visibility or in individual cups. Top with extra pomegranate arils or a sprig of mint for a festive look. Keep an eye on fruit freshness; best if consumed within one day of mixing.
