- 0.5 cup pomegranate seeds
- 2 tablespoons fresh mint leaves
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cardamom

Instructions
Peel the oranges, grapefruits, and mandarins, removing as much of the white pith as possible.
Slice the citrus fruits into thin rounds or segments, depending on your preference, and arrange them on a platter or in a large bowl.
Sprinkle the pomegranate seeds evenly over the citrus slices.
Chop the fresh mint leaves finely and sprinkle them over the fruit for a burst of freshness.
In a small bowl, whisk together the honey or maple syrup, ground cardamom, and lime juice to create the dressing.
Drizzle the dressing evenly over the prepared fruit salad.
Allow the salad to sit for about 5-10 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
Serve immediately, garnished with additional mint leaves if desired.
