When the weather gets chilly, I love making this fruit salad to remind me that nature still provides plenty of color. It is a wonderful way to enjoy fresh apples, pears, and citrus when they are at their absolute peak sweetness.

My favorite trick for this recipe is to wait until the very last second to toss everything together. It keeps the fruit crisp and prevents the juices from pooling at the bottom of your bowl.

🧺 Ingredients

2 clementines, peeled and segmented
1/2 cup pomegranate arils
2 crisp apples, chopped into bite sized pieces
2 ripe kiwis, peeled and sliced
2 pears, chopped into bite sized pieces
1 tablespoon poppy seeds
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

👩‍🍳Instructions

1
Prepare all of your fruit by peeling, chopping, and segmenting as needed.
2
Place the apple and pear pieces in a large mixing bowl and toss them gently with the lime juice to keep them from browning.
3
Add the clementine segments, kiwi slices, and pomegranate arils to the bowl.
4
Drizzle the honey over the fruit and sprinkle the poppy seeds on top.
5
Toss everything together very gently until the fruit is evenly coated.
6
Serve immediately for the best texture.

💡 Tips

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one day. If you want a little extra crunch, try topping your bowl with a handful of toasted walnuts or almonds right before you eat.
