Make this colorful and refreshing Winter Fruit Salad featuring seasonal favorites and a simple, warming cinnamon vanilla dressing. It is a healthy winter fruit dish perfect for holiday gatherings or a light dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large crisp apples, cored and chopped
  • 2 ripe pears, cored and chopped
  • 1 pint pomegranate arils
  • 4 clementines or mandarins, peeled and segmented
  • 1 cup red grapes, halved
  • 1/4 cup fresh orange juice
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of ground nutmeg

Instructions

  1. Prepare all the fruit: chop apples and pears, segment the citrus, and halve the grapes. Place all prepared fruit into a large mixing bowl.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the orange juice, honey, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well combined. This creates your flavorful cinnamon vanilla dressing.
  3. Pour the dressing over the fruit mixture in the large bowl.
  4. Gently toss the fruit until everything is lightly coated with the dressing.
  5. For best flavor, cover the bowl and chill the fruit salad for at least 15 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld.
  6. Serve this refreshing winter dessert or side dish chilled.

Notes

  • For a festive presentation, use a mix of red and green apples and grapes.
  • If you prefer a tangier dressing, substitute the honey with maple syrup for a Maple Lime Fruit Salad variation.
  • This salad works well as a healthy side dish for Christmas brunch.
