Pomegranate Fruit Salad

During the holidays, when the table is filled with rich, hearty meals, I love to lighten things up with a refreshing Pomegranate Fruit Salad.

A fruit salad is one of my go-to side dish recipes for family gatherings. Fruit salads are bright, tasty, and so easy to make. The kids love them!

Honestly, fruit salads are so easy to make you don’t even need a recipe! Just grab whatever fruit is in season or hanging out in your fridge, toss it all together, and like magic you have a beautiful, colorful side salad everyone will love.

Fruit salads are great on their own or you can take it up a notch and serve some sweetened Creme Fraiche on the side or make my 5 minute sweet and tart yogurt fruit salad dressing.

Or drizzle some ginger infused honey over each serving.

Pomegranate Salad Ingredients

• 1 ruby red grapefruit, sectioned and skin removed
• 1 pomegranate, ariels removed and rinsed.
• 3 navel oranges, sectioned and skin removed
• 1 cup seedless grapes, cut in half
• ½ pint of fresh blueberries
• ½ cup sugar
• ½ pink fresh raspberries
• 2 apples, peeled and cubed
• 2 pears, peeled and cubed
• 2 bananas, sliced
• 1 lemon
• ½ small watermelon for serving (optional)

How to make a winter fruit salad

Step 1: Place the first six ingredients into a bowl and refrigerate at least 4 hours before serving (overnight is best).

Step 2: Right before serving peel and cut the apples, pears, and bananas into a small bowl and squeeze the juice of the lemon over the fruit. Mix well so the lemon juice covers all sides of the fruit. This is to prevent browning.

Step 3: Add the fruit and lemon juice to the bowl of fruit that has been refrigerated. Gently mix the fruit with a large spoon.

Watermelon Serving Bowl

If using a watermelon shell to serve the fruit salad scoop out the flesh from the center of one half of a small watermelon. Save the watermelon you scooped out for another use.

Place the fruit salad into the hollowed out watermelon shell to serve.
Arrange raspberries over the top of the fruit salad.
Serve the fruit salad well chilled.
