Instructions
Preparing the Dressing
Before you even touch the fruit, whip up the dressing in a small bowl. Mix all the ingredients together and set it aside. Once you have your dressing mixed and ready, pop it into the fridge. By doing this, the flavors get to mingle and develop, making it even more delicious.
Preparing the Fruit
Next, it is time to prepare your fruit. Remember, fruits like pears and apples have a tendency to brown quickly once cut, so save these for last.
Begin by washing all your chosen fruits thoroughly. After washing, peel the fruits if necessary, then dice or slice them according to your preference.
Combining the Ingredients
Once all your fruit is prepared, it is time to combine everything. Grab a large bowl, then toss all the diced or sliced fruit into it. Mix them together gently to ensure a good variety of fruit in every serving.
Adding the Dressing
Now, retrieve your pre-prepared dressing from the fridge. Pour it over the fruit salad in the bowl. You'll want to make sure that all the fruit gets a good coating, so take your time. Gently mix and toss the salad to evenly distribute the dressing.
Serving the Salad
Your winter fruit salad is now ready to serve! You can serve it immediately, or if you prefer, cover the bowl with an air-tight lid and refrigerate it until you're ready to serve. This can help the flavors meld together even more.
And there you have it! Enjoy your fresh, delicious winter fruit salad. It is a perfect dish for any winter gathering or simply as a healthy snack.
