Easy Winter Fresh Fruit Salad

Recipe found and adapted here

Fantastic fresh and healthy side dish for Thanksgiving and/or Christmas dinner to offset the typically heavy holiday foods. 


1 cup fresh blueberries
1 cup peeled and diced kiwi fruit
1 cup fresh mandarin orange segments 
1 cup diced apples or pears 
1 cup halved grapes 
½ cup fresh pomegranate seeds 
lemon juice (for apples/pears)

Place the fruit in a serving bowl. If using pears/apples toss them with a light squeeze of lemon juice before adding to the salad. 


Notes:
The fruit is very adaptable to what is in season and what you prefer. You’ll want about 5-6 cups total fruit (not including the pomegranate seeds). The lineup listed above is my favorite (I use pears when I can find delicious, ripe ones). 

Pomegranate Seeds: I personally think the pomegranate seeds are essential for this fruit salad – for color, texture, flavor and prettiness.
