A vibrant and refreshing fruit salad perfect for holiday gatherings, featuring apples, pears, grapes, and pomegranate with a warm cinnamon-orange dressing. This recipe includes tips to prevent browning and offers make-ahead convenience.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large apples, cored and diced
  • 2 ripe pears, cored and diced
  • 1 cup red or green seedless grapes, halved
  • 1 cup pomegranate seeds
  • 1/4 cup orange juice
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the orange juice, olive oil, maple syrup, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and salt. This is your dressing.
  2. Prepare your fruit: core and dice the apples and pears. Halve the grapes.
  3. To prevent browning, you can toss the diced apples and pears with a little extra orange juice or a squeeze of lemon juice immediately after cutting.
  4. In a large bowl, combine the prepared apples, pears, grapes, and pomegranate seeds.
  5. Pour the cinnamon-orange dressing over the fruit. Gently toss to coat all the fruit evenly.
  6. For best flavor, cover the salad and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
  7. Serve chilled.

Notes

  • To make ahead, prepare the fruit and dressing separately. Combine them just before serving to maintain the best texture.
  • You can add other fall fruits like persimmons or cranberries.
  • A sprinkle of chopped pecans or walnuts adds a nice crunch.
