Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Pomegranate seeds
- 2 medium Orange
- 2 medium Apples
- 2 medium Kiwi
- 1 large Banana
- 1.5 cups Grapes
- 1.5 tablespoons Rose water
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 1.5 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh mint leaves
- 3 tablespoons Optional pistachios (chopped)
Instructions
Begin by prepping the fruits. De-seed the pomegranate and set aside 1 cup of arils in a large bowl.
Peel the oranges, remove any excess white pith, and dice them into bite-sized pieces. Add to the bowl.
Core and dice the apples into small pieces, leaving the skin on for added color and texture. Add them to the large bowl.
Peel and dice the kiwi, then add it to the mixture.
Peel and slice the banana into thin rounds, and gently toss it into the fruit mix to keep it from breaking apart.
Add the grapes whole, unless they are particularly large, in which case slice them in half.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the rose water, fresh lime juice, and honey until well-incorporated.
Pour the dressing over the mixed fruit and toss gently to coat all the pieces evenly.
Sprinkle the chopped mint leaves and, if desired, chopped pistachios over the top for a delightful crunch and burst of flavor.
Chill in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes before serving, allowing the flavors to meld together.
