Description
A fresh, colorful fruit salad featuring seasonal winter produce, topped with a simple, aromatic cinnamon vanilla dressing.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 clementines, peeled and segmented
- 2 crisp apples (like Honeycrisp or Fuji), cored and diced
- 1 cup pomegranate seeds
- 2 ripe pears, cored and diced
- 2 kiwis, peeled and sliced
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Prepare all the fruit: peel and segment the clementines, dice the apples and pears, slice the kiwis, and measure the pomegranate seeds. Place all prepared fruit into a large mixing bowl.
- To make the dressing, whisk together the maple syrup, lime juice, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt in a small bowl until fully combined.
- Pour the dressing evenly over the fruit mixture. Gently toss the fruit until everything is lightly coated.
- Serve the fruit salad immediately, or chill for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Notes
- For the best presentation, reserve a few pomegranate seeds and clementine segments to sprinkle on top just before serving.
- If you prefer a thicker dressing, slightly warm the maple syrup before mixing it with the other dressing ingredients.
- This salad keeps well in the refrigerator for up to two days, though the apples may soften slightly.
