Festive Delight: Christmas Fruit Salad

Christmas is around the corner, and what better way to embrace the festive spirit than with a vibrant and refreshing Christmas Fruit Salad? This blog post will guide you through creating a delightful fruit salad that not only bursts with seasonal colors but also brings a healthy and sweet touch to your Christmas table.

This fruit salad is the perfect contrast to all of the rich dishes and flavors of the holiday season. The perfect side dish for some of those delectable breakfasts we all love this time of year, so try pairing this with Overnight Gingerbread Cinnamon Rolls, Monkey Bread, or Sour Cream Coffee Cake for the perfect breakfast.

Now because it is getting into the winter months during Christmas depending where you live it might be hard to find some of the fresh fruit. Don’t be afraid to substitute what you can’t find for other red or green fruits.

Ingredients

• Green Apples – I like the tartness of a Granny Smith Apple in this salad. You can of course use other varieties of apples including red apples. You could also sub out for a pear if you’d like.
• Green Grapes – Feel free to use red grapes instead of green grapes, or use both!
• Green Kiwis – I love the pop of kiwi in this salad, feel free to add in extra kiwis if it is your favorite.
• Raspberries – Depending on where you live you might have trouble finding fresh raspberries in December, feel free to use a different red fruit or just leave them out.
• Strawberries – Of course the best known red fruit needs to be in a red and green fruit salad.
• Pomegranate Seeds – During pomegranate season some might be able to find pomegranate seeds sold in a little cup, if you are lucky enough to find those use that, otherwise find a nice pomegranate to deseed yourself.
• Orange – A fresh orange for the dressing, you will want to juice it fresh yourself, it will make a big difference. If you are really big into the orange flavor you can zest a little orange peel into the dressing as well.
• Honey – And just a touch of honey to help make a nice smooth dressing for the salad.

Instructions

Prepare the Fruit:

Ensure all the fruit is thoroughly cleaned.

Dice the apples, half or quarter cut the grapes (depending on size), peel and dice the kiwis, and quarter cut the strawberries.

Add the prepared fruit into a large bowl, combining them with raspberries and pomegranate seeds.

Make the Dressing:

In a small bowl, whisk together the fresh orange juice and honey to create a luscious dressing.

Combine and Mix:

Pour the dressing over the bowl of fruit, ensuring it coats each piece evenly.

Gently toss everything together until the fruit is well coated with the dressing.

Storage:

If not serving immediately, transfer the Christmas Fruit Salad into a container and store it in the refrigerator.

The salad remains fresh for 2 to 3 days, making it a convenient make-ahead option for your festive gatherings.
