Ingredients
  

For the dressing
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 2 tbsp lime juice fresh
For the salad
  • 1 lb strawberries hulled and quartered
  • 2 kiwifruit peeled and diced
  • 2 cups green grapes seedless, halved
  • 1 can (15 oz) mandarin oranges drained
  • 1 cup pomegranate arils
  • 1 Granny Smith apple large, cored and diced

Method
 

Make the dressing
  1. In a small bowl, whisk the honey and fresh lime juice until blended.
Assemble the salad
  1. In a large serving bowl, combine the strawberries, kiwifruit, grapes, mandarin oranges, and pomegranate arils.
  2. Add the diced apple and pour the dressing over the fruit.
  3. Gently toss to coat.
  4. Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate for up to 2 hours.

Notes

For the freshest texture, cut the apple just before tossing the salad with the dressing. Refrigerate leftovers for up to 2 days; freezing is not recommended. For a vegan variation, replace the honey with maple syrup.
