Winter fruits are survivors, surviving the coldest days of the year. We had to show them some appreciation. Enter this simple and vibrant winter fruit salad!
It sounds too simple to be a recipe (1 bowl, 5 ingredients, 15 minutes!), but we are minimalist bakers after all. Let’s do it!
How to Make This Easy Winter Fruit Salad
This winter fruit salad is actually EASY! The trickiest part is segmenting an orange. And we promise it only looks intimidating. Once you’ve done it once, you’ll be ready to show off your segmenting skills to your friends!
Or… you can just use a seedless orange! The main goal of segmenting an orange is to remove the seeds. It also removes the pith and membranes, ensuring the best texture and maximum sweetness.
HOW do you segment an orange, you ask? The first step is to cut off the peel. It’s easiest to do this after you’ve cut off the top and bottom of the orange so it’s flat (see photo below). Then you can easily cut off the sides.
Next, you’ll hold the orange in one hand and gently cut inside each membrane (see photo below) to create slices. You’ve now segmented an orange. GO FOR IT!
Next, we’ll peel and slice the kiwi and chop an apple! Removing the skin from the kiwi ensures the best flavor and no fuzzy texture.
We like to cut all the fruit into bite-sized pieces because it somehow makes the salad more flavorful. The logic is unexplainable. But trust me!
All that’s left: a drizzle of honey, a squeeze of lime or lemon, and toss it all together!
Pomegranate and mint are optional additions for freshness and a pop of color!
We can’t wait for you to try this fruit salad! It’s:
Fresh
Crunchy
Vibrant
Beautiful
Lightly sweet
So easy to make and perfect for winter!
This salad is the best of both worlds: pretty enough for the holiday table (includes the pomegranate + mint!) and simple enough to throw together when you’re cleaning out the fridge for the weekend!
