Description
This red and green fruit salad recipe is a great way to add a little color to the holiday table! (Try it for Christmas dinner or Christmas brunch!)
Ingredients
Scale
For Honey Lime Dressing:
- 2 teaspoons lime zest (Zest of 1 lime)
- 2 Tablespoons juice (Juice of 1 lime)
- 2 Tablespoons honey (use agave, for vegan)
For The Christmas Fruit Salad:
- 2 cups green grapes, cut half (or thirds, if large)
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
- 1 cup green kiwi, quartered lengthwise and sliced (about 3 kiwi)
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- 1 cup pomegranate seeds
Instructions
- Make The Dressing. In a small bowl, combine lime zest, lime juice, and honey. Whisk to combine until well blended. (Dressing can be made a day in advance and stored in the refrigerator.)
- Wash & Prep Fruit. If you haven’t already, wash and prepare the fruit. Try to cut everything into small, bite-sized pieces. This will look better and be easier to eat!
- Combine Fruit. In a large bowl, combine grapes, strawberries, kiwi, raspberries, and pomegranate seeds.
- Gently Coat With Dressing. Drizzle salad with honey lime dressing and GENTLY stir to coat. (Try to be extra gentle with the raspberries! You can even add them last, if you like.)
- Serve & Store. Transfer to a serving bowl and enjoy right away or serve within 2 hours for best results. Store leftover fruit salad in an airtight container in the fridge and eat within 2 days. (It will soften and get more juicy each day!)
Notes
- Make Ahead Tips. For best results, prep and store the dressing and fruit separately until right before serving. I recommend storing fruit individually, if possible. Serve within 2 hours of making this salad.
- Try it With Mint! Sometimes, I love to mix a little minced fresh mint into the dressing with the lime zest. Or you can garnish the salad with a sprig of mint for pretty presentation.
- More Red & Green Fruit To Try: Honeycrisp apples, green apples, red grapes, honeydew, redcurrant berries, red pears or green pears, starfruit, etc.
