Ingredients
Scale
Fruits
- 1 cup green grapes
- 1 Cosmic Crisp apple, sliced
- 1 Granny Smith apple, sliced
- ½ cup red grapes
- 1/3 cup pomegranate arils
- 3 kiwis, peeled, sliced and halved
- 1 ½ cups raspberries
Dressing
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
Instructions
- Combine fruits: In a large bowl, gently fold together the green grapes, sliced Cosmic Crisp apple, sliced Granny Smith apple, red grapes, pomegranate arils, and halved kiwi slices, ensuring an even mix without mashing the fruit.
- Add dressing: Drizzle the honey and lime juice over the mixed fruits to coat them evenly. This adds a sweet and tangy flavor that enhances the salad.
- Fold in raspberries: Carefully fold in the raspberries last as they are delicate and can easily break apart, preserving their shape.
- Serve or store: Enjoy the Christmas fruit salad immediately for the freshest taste, or store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Consume within 1-2 days for best quality, especially if the fruits are ripe.
Notes
- Store the salad in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 1-2 days to maintain freshness.
- Use any variety of red apple if Cosmic Crisp is unavailable.
- Substitute strawberries completely or partially for raspberries if preferred.
- Adjust honey and lime juice quantities to taste based on fruit sweetness and desired tartness.
- For an extra festive touch, add chopped nuts or a sprinkle of cinnamon if desired.
