Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup pomegranate seeds
- 2 medium orange
- 1 large grapefruit
- 3 medium kiwi
- 1 medium apple
- 1 medium pear
- 1 cup seedless red grapes
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 0.25 cup roasted pecans (optional)
Instructions
Start by preparing the fruits: deseed the pomegranate and set aside 1 cup of the seeds.
Peel and segment the oranges and grapefruit, removing any membranes. Cut the segments into bite-sized pieces.
Peel the kiwis and slice them into thin rounds or bite-sized pieces, depending on your preference.
Core and dice the apple and pear into small cubes. To prevent browning, lightly toss them in the lemon juice.
Wash the seedless red grapes and cut them in half if they are large.
In a small bowl, whisk together the sour cream, honey, vanilla extract, and any remaining lemon juice until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust the honey for sweetness if needed.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the pomegranate seeds, orange and grapefruit segments, kiwi slices, apple cubes, pear cubes, and grapes.
Gently toss the fruits to mix them evenly without bruising them.
Drizzle the honey sour cream dressing over the fruit mixture and gently stir to coat the fruit evenly.
Transfer the fruit salad to a serving bowl or platter.
If desired, garnish with roasted pecans for added crunch and flavor. Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes before serving.
