Make this refreshing and colorful winter fruit salad using seasonal produce and a bright honey-lime dressing. It is a healthy side dish perfect for holiday gatherings or a quick snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large navel oranges, peeled and segmented
  • 2 kiwi fruits, peeled and sliced
  • 2 firm pears (like Bosc or Anjou), cored and diced
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries
  • 1 cup pomegranate arils
  • 2 cups green grapes, halved
  • For the Dressing:
  • 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon lime zest

Instructions

  1. Prepare the fruit: Peel and segment the oranges, peel and slice the kiwi, and dice the pears. Combine the prepared oranges, kiwi, pears, cranberries, pomegranate arils, and halved grapes in a large bowl.
  2. Make the honey-lime dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the fresh lime juice, honey, and lime zest until the honey dissolves completely.
  3. Dress the salad: Pour the honey-lime dressing over the fruit mixture. Gently toss the fruit until everything is lightly coated.
  4. Chill: Cover the bowl and refrigerate the fruit salad for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. This step is important for the best taste.
  5. Serve: Serve this healthy fruit salad cold as a refreshing side dish or light dessert.

Notes

  • To keep the fruit looking bright for parties, prepare the dressing separately and only toss the fruit right before serving.
  • If you want a slightly different flavor, substitute the honey with maple syrup for a vegan option.
  • This salad works well as a healthy holiday side dish or a quick winter brunch item.
