A refreshing and colorful fruit salad featuring apples, pears, oranges, and a warm cinnamon-spiced dressing—perfect for celebrating the flavors of fall.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 crisp apples, chopped (Honeycrisp or Gala)
  • 2 ripe pears, diced (Bartlett or Bosc)
  • 2 medium oranges, peeled and sliced (Cara Cara or navel)
  • 1/2 cup pomegranate seeds
  • 1 cup seedless grapes, halved (red or black)
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
  • 1/4 cup roasted and unsalted pumpkin seeds
  • 2 tablespoons honey (or maple syrup for vegan)
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt (or coconut yogurt for dairy-free)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Wash and dry all the fresh fruits. Dice the apples and pears into bite-sized pieces, peel and slice the oranges, and halve the grapes. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
  2. Sprinkle the pomegranate seeds over the chopped fruits.
  3. If using nuts and pumpkin seeds, lightly toast them in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until fragrant. Let them cool before adding to the salad.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, Greek yogurt, ground cinnamon, lemon juice, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  5. Pour the cinnamon dressing over the fruit mixture and gently toss until everything is coated evenly.
  6. Transfer the salad to a serving bowl and sprinkle the toasted nuts and pumpkin seeds on top for garnish. Serve immediately or chill for 10-15 minutes for enhanced flavors.

Notes

[‘Toast nuts and seeds for added crunch and depth of flavor.’, ‘Prepare fruits and dressing ahead, but mix them just before serving for freshness.’, ‘Adjust the sweetness of the dressing based on the natural sweetness of the fruits.’]
