When it gets cold outside, I love finding ways to brighten up the kitchen with fresh fruit. This winter salad is a family favorite because it uses the best seasonal picks like sweet clementines and crisp apples to create a light side dish or healthy snack.

My top tip for this recipe is to prep the fruit right before you are ready to serve it. This keeps everything crisp and prevents the apples and pears from browning too quickly.

Ingredients

  • 3 clementines, peeled and segmented
  • 1 cup pomegranate seeds
  • 2 crisp apples, chopped into bite sized pieces
  • 2 kiwis, peeled and sliced
  • 2 pears, chopped into bite sized pieces
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon poppy seeds

Instructions

  1. 1

    Place the prepared clementines, pomegranate seeds, apples, kiwis, and pears into a large mixing bowl.

  2. 2

    In a small separate bowl, whisk together the honey, lime juice, and poppy seeds until they are well combined.

  3. 3

    Drizzle the dressing over your fruit mixture.

  4. 4

    Gently toss everything together until the fruit is lightly coated and serve immediately.

💡 Tips

You can keep any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one day. If you like a little extra crunch, try sprinkling some chopped walnuts or pecans over the top right before you eat.
