A vibrant and refreshing fruit salad perfect for holiday gatherings, featuring apples, pears, grapes, and pomegranate with a warm cinnamon-orange dressing. This salad is designed to stay fresh and colorful, making it ideal for preparing ahead of time.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 crisp apples, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 ripe pears, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 cup red or green seedless grapes, halved
  • 1 cup pomegranate seeds
  • 1/4 cup orange juice
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the cut apples, pears, grapes, and pomegranate seeds.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the orange juice, olive oil, maple syrup, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and salt.
  3. Pour the dressing over the fruit and toss gently to coat.
  4. For best results and to prevent browning, cover the salad and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld and the citrus to lightly coat the fruit.
  5. Serve chilled as a delightful side dish or dessert.

Notes

  • To prevent apples and pears from browning, toss them with a little extra lemon or orange juice immediately after cutting before adding them to the salad.
  • This salad can be prepared up to 24 hours in advance. Store the dressing separately and toss just before serving if you prefer a crisper texture.
  • Consider adding a sprinkle of chopped pecans or walnuts for extra crunch.
  • This fruit salad is a great option for meal planning, offering a healthy and delicious addition to your week.
