Ingredients
Scale
Fruit
- 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 green grapes, Cosmic Crisp apple slices, Granny Smith apple slices, red grapes, pomegranate arils, and kiwis to mix evenly without bruising the fruit.
- Add Dressing: Drizzle the honey and lime juice over the fruit mixture, tossing carefully to coat all pieces for a balanced sweetness and tang.
- Incorporate Berries: Add the raspberries last and fold them in delicately as they are fragile to maintain their shape and texture.
- Serve or Store: Enjoy the Christmas fruit salad immediately or store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, consuming sooner if the fruit is very ripe.
Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 1-2 days for best freshness.
- Handle raspberries gently to avoid crushing them in the salad.
- Use lime juice not only for flavor but also to prevent the apples from browning.
- Feel free to substitute strawberries for raspberries if preferred.
- This salad is best served fresh to preserve texture and flavor.
