Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ripe pears, cored and diced
  • 2 red apples, cored and diced
  • 1 cup pomegranate seeds
  • 1 cup red seedless grapes, halved
  • 2 kiwis, peeled and sliced
  • 1 banana, sliced
  • 1/4 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

  • For the Cinnamon Vanilla Dressing:

  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced pears, apples, and lemon juice to prevent browning. Mix well to coat the fruit evenly.
  2. Add the pomegranate seeds, grapes, kiwis, banana slices, walnuts (if using), and dried cranberries to the bowl.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the orange juice, honey, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract to make the dressing.
  4. Pour the Cinnamon Vanilla Dressing over the fruit mixture, and gently toss everything together until all the fruit is well coated with the dressing.
  5. Cover the fruit salad and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
  6. Before serving, give the fruit salad a gentle toss, then transfer it to a serving dish.
