Winter fruit salad is loaded full of delicious winter fruits, like oranges, kiwi, pomegranates, and is perfect for a holiday party or dinner side dish.
Pin this winter fruit salad for later!
This fruit salad is packed full of 5 different winter ready fruits, with mandarin oranges, crisp apples, banana, crunchy pomegranate arils and kiwi.
The combination of the different fruits is a perfect sweet and sour mixture, that you coat in a simple mixture of lime juice and sugar to brighten up the flavors just a bit (and to keep your apples and bananas from turning brown 😉 )
The textures of each of the fruits go so well together too, with the crunchy pomegranate seeds and apple pieces, juicy mandarin orange slices, and soft banana and kiwi pieces.
This side dish comes together fairly quickly (especially if you buy pomegranate seeds instead of a fresh pomegranate – because is anyone else still terrible at cutting those things open?) and is the perfect holiday side dish. Its great for dinner with your family, a lighter dish to take to, or serve at a party, or even Christmas or New Year’s Day!

Aimee Berrett says
The great thing about fruit salad is you can use any fruit varieties that are in season. I have this fruit salad recipe as well as a rainbow fruit salad that I think would both be great for a reception. Maybe 3x or 4x the recipe for enough to serve 30-40
