Make this vibrant winter fruit salad featuring seasonal citrus, apples, pears, and pomegranate, all tossed in a warm cinnamon vanilla dressing. It is a healthy winter recipe perfect for holiday gatherings or brunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large navel oranges, peeled and segmented
  • 2 crisp apples (like Honeycrisp or Fuji), cored and chopped
  • 2 firm pears (like Bosc or Anjou), cored and chopped
  • 1 cup pomegranate arils
  • 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the fruit: Peel and segment the oranges. Chop the apples and pears into bite-sized pieces. Combine the oranges, apples, pears, and pomegranate arils in a large bowl.
  2. Make the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, honey, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt until the honey is dissolved and the mixture is combined.
  3. Dress the salad: Pour the cinnamon vanilla dressing over the fruit mixture. Gently toss the fruit until everything is lightly coated.
  4. Chill: Cover the bowl and refrigerate the winter fruit salad for at least 15 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld.
  5. Serve: Serve chilled as a refreshing winter dessert or a healthy side dish for your next party.

Notes

  • For a festive look, use a mix of red and green apples.
  • If you prefer a sweeter dressing, increase the honey to 3 tablespoons.
  • This salad is best eaten the day it is made for the crispest texture.
