Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 whole (peeled, cored, and diced) pineapple
- 2 medium (cored and diced) red apples
- 1.5 cups (halved) green grapes
- 1.5 cups (hulled and quartered) strawberries
- 1 cup pomegranate arils
- 0.5 cup (freshly squeezed) orange juice
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons (finely chopped) mint leaves
Instructions
Prepare the pineapple by peeling, coring, and dicing it into bite-sized pieces. Place the diced pineapple in a large mixing bowl.
Wash the red apples, core them, and dice them into similar-sized pieces. Add to the bowl with the pineapple.
Rinse the green grapes and slice them in half. Add them to the fruit mixture.
Hull the strawberries, then quarter them. Add to the bowl along with the other fruits.
Add the pomegranate arils to the fruit mixture for a pop of color and flavor.
In a small bowl, whisk together the orange juice, lemon juice, and honey until well combined.
Pour the citrus-honey dressing over the fruit. Gently toss the fruit salad to coat evenly with the dressing.
Sprinkle the finely chopped mint leaves over the fruit salad and toss lightly to incorporate.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve chilled and enjoy your Holiday Fruit Salad!
