A simple, colorful fruit salad featuring seasonal winter produce and a warm cinnamon vanilla dressing.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 large navel oranges, peeled and segmented
  • 2 firm pears, cored and diced
  • 2 crisp apples, cored and diced
  • 1 cup pomegranate arils
  • 1 cup clementines or mandarins, peeled and halved
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare all the fruit: peel and segment the oranges, dice the pears and apples, and peel the clementines. Place all prepared fruit into a large mixing bowl.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, lime juice, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until fully combined. This is your dressing.
  3. Pour the dressing over the fruit mixture.
  4. Gently toss the fruit until all pieces are lightly coated with the dressing.
  5. Cover the bowl and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
  6. Stir gently one last time before serving.

Notes

  • For best results, use firm fruit so the pieces hold their shape after tossing.
  • You can substitute honey for maple syrup if preferred, but adjust the lime juice slightly if the honey is very thick.
  • This salad is best served within 4 hours of preparation for maximum freshness.
