Winter Fruit Salad

Easy winter fruit salad with orange, apple, kiwi, honey, and lime. Optional pomegranate and mint add a fresh, vibrant pop of color. Just 5 ingredients required!

Easy Winter Fruit Salad (1 Bowl!)

oranges,

apple,

firm, just-ripe kiwis, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces

Tbsp lime juice

pomegranate arils

mint leaves

ORANGE: To segment an orange, place it on a cutting board and use a sharp knife to cut off the top and bottom, removing the peel and pith so the fruit is exposed. Then set one of the flat sides on the cutting board and cut off the remaining peel and pith, rotating the orange as you go. Cradle the peeled orange in your non-dominant hand and carefully cut in a rocking motion just inside the membranes, creating slices. The seeds and membranes will no longer be attached to the slices. Once you have segmented slices, cut the slices into ~1/2-1-inch pieces for the salad.

Alternatively, if using a seedless orange, instead of cutting into segments, you can place the peeled orange on the cutting board, cut it in half, then thinly slice and cut into bite-sized triangles.

APPLE: We like to leave the peel on for ease and fiber! Cut the apple into ~1-inch slices, remove the core, and then cut into 1/2-1-inch pieces.

KIWI: Slice off the ends from the kiwi, then place one of the cut ends on the cutting board and carefully slice off the peel. Cut the kiwi into 1/2-1-inch pieces.

To a mixing bowl or serving platter, add the chopped orange segments, apple, and kiwi. Add lime juice and honey and toss gently until evenly coated and no clumps of honey remain.

Garnish with pomegranate arils and/or chopped mint (both optional, but SO pretty!).

Best when fresh. Leftover salad (without the mint) will keep in the refrigerator for 2-3 days as the citrus helps prevent the apple from browning. The mint turns brown within 24 hours and is best added just before serving.

This recipe was a HUGE hit!  I followed it exactly as written and was amazed at how easy it was to make, even for a novice cook like myself.  The winter fruit salad was incredibly delicious. My family devoured it, and there were even requests for seconds!  I will definitely be making this again – it's officially a new family favorite.  Thank you for sharing such a fantastic recipe!  Five stars! ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

Made this for Christmas Day. It was beautiful and light and refreshing and everybody loved it! It was a nice addition to the meal to offset the heavier and more indulgent holiday desserts. I'll definitely make it again!

Outstanding!  Brought this (with addition of blueberries) to family brunch and took an empty bowl home. Thank you!

Made this for Christmas brunch and everyone loved it ! The mint adds so much pop and ties in all the flavors !

Thank you - this is gorgeous. We made this for our New Year's Day meal with family. Next time I make it, I'll use about half or less of the dressing. It was a bit too much vinegar, but how would we know that if we didn't try it to the letter of the recipe first. Will definitely make again and just go a bit lighter. Again - a truly lovely salad.

Love the ingredients….   but warning, this dressing is way too vinegry for our tastes!   By a LOT!!!!!
Talk about putting a pucker on your face!!!!    We added more olive oil AND sugar to save it for our liking!!!!!

I do not like blue che c you use feta cheese instead

Great Christmas salad. I used red pears, baby spinach and gorgonzola cheese. Kept the rest the same. Thanks for the idea. So simple to make. My family ate the entire dish.

I made this for a baby shower. It was great! I love the dressing too. I served it with blue cheese and feta cheese on the side per preference. It was easy to make and tasty.
