  • 1 cup fresh raspberries 125 g
  • 1/2 cup pomegranate arils 85 g
  • 1/2 cup mandarin oranges or tangerines peeled and segmented, 110 g

Instructions
 

  • In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, orange juice, water, and ground cinnamon until smooth.
  • Place the diced apples, halved grapes, and diced kiwis in a large serving bowl.
  • Add the raspberries, pomegranate arils, and mandarin oranges to the bowl.

  • Gently toss the salad until all the fruit is evenly coated with the dressing.
  • Serve immediately or cover and chill in the refrigerator until ready to eat.

Notes

Wait to add the dressing until just before serving to keep the fruit firm.
To prevent the apples from browning if making ahead, toss them in a little lemon juice before mixing with the other fruit.
Use a gentle hand when tossing the salad so the raspberries do not break apart.
