  • 2 Oranges peeled and segmented
  • 1/2 cup Pomegranate seeds

  • Peel and slice the apple, pear, bananas, kiwi fruits, and clementines as directed.
  • Combine all the sliced fruits in a large mixing bowl.

  • Drizzle the honey-lime mixture over the fruits in the mixing bowl.

Notes

  • For a Mediterranean touch, sprinkle some unsweetened shredded coconut.
  • Add a tablespoon of pomegranate molasses to the dressing for a tangy-sweet flavour.
  • This fruit salad is tastiest on the day it's made but can stay good in the fridge for 2-3 days.
  • You can prepare this Winter Fruit Salad up to 5 hours before serving, but it's best to add lemon juice to keep the fruits fresh. After that, the fruits might get too soft and the salad won't look as nice.
