Description
This Citrus and Pomegranate Fruit Salad is a refreshing delight packed with vibrant colors and health benefits!
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large oranges, peeled and segmented
- 2 large grapefruits, peeled and segmented
- 1 cup pomegranate arils
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh mint leaves, chopped
- zest of 1 lime (optional)
Instructions
- Start by preparing your citrus fruits. Peel the oranges and grapefruits, removing any bitter white pith. Segment the fruits carefully, capturing all the juice. In a large mixing bowl, add the orange segments, grapefruit segments, and pomegranate arils. Gently toss the fruits together, ensuring they are evenly mixed for a beautiful salad.
- Now, it’s time to prepare the zesty dressing. In a small bowl, combine the honey and fresh lime juice. Whisk them together until the honey is fully dissolved in the lime juice. This dressing will add a bright and tangy flavor that enhances the fruit’s natural sweetness. For an extra punch, feel free to add lime zest as this will elevate the zesty notes.
- Drizzle the honey-lime dressing over the prepared fruit salad. Gently toss the salad to coat all of the ingredients with the dressing. Lastly, sprinkle the chopped fresh mint over the top for a refreshing touch. Cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate it for at least 15 minutes. This chilling period allows the flavors to meld beautifully, making each bite utterly delightful!
