Ingredients
Scale
- 2 medium oranges, segmented and cut into ½-1 inch pieces
- 1 small honeycrisp apple, cut into ½-1 inch pieces (or Fuji)
- 2 firm, ripe kiwis, peeled and cut into ½-inch pieces
- 1 tbsp lime juice (or lemon juice)
- 1 tbsp honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option)
-
Optional Garnish:
- ⅓ cup pomegranate arils
- 1–2 tbsp freshly chopped mint leaves
Instructions
- Prepare the oranges: Slice off the top and bottom, then cut away the peel and pith. Carefully segment the orange by cutting between the membranes, then chop into bite-sized pieces. If using a seedless orange, simply peel, halve, and chop into triangles.
- Chop the apple: Leave the peel on for extra fiber, remove the core, and cut into ½-1 inch pieces.
- Prepare the kiwi: Slice off the ends, peel, and chop into ½-inch pieces.
- Mix: In a large bowl, combine the orange, apple, and kiwi. Add lime juice and honey and toss gently until evenly coated.
- Garnish (optional): Sprinkle with pomegranate arils and fresh mint leaves for added color and flavor.
- Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2-3 days (add mint just before serving).
Notes
- The citrus juice helps prevent the apple from browning.
- For a vegan version, use maple syrup instead of honey.
- The mint will brown within 24 hours, so it’s best to add it fresh before serving.
