Winter fruits are survivors<\/em>, making it through the coldest days of the year. We had to show them some appreciation. Enter this simple, vibrant winter fruit salad!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It almost feels too<\/em> simple to be a recipe (1 bowl<\/strong>, 5 ingredients<\/strong>, 15 minutes<\/strong>!), but we are Minimalist<\/em> Baker after all. Let’s make it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Make This Easy Winter Fruit Salad<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This winter fruit salad is indeed EASY! The most complicated part is segmenting an orange<\/strong>. And we promise it only sounds<\/em> intimidating. After you do it once, you’ll be ready to show off your segmenting skills to friends!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Or…you can just use a seedless orange! The main purpose of segmenting<\/strong> the orange is to remove the seeds<\/strong>. It does also remove the pith and membranes, ensuring the best texture and maximum sweetness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

HOW to segment an orange<\/strong>, you ask? The first step is to cut off the peel<\/strong>. It’s easiest to do this after cutting off the top and bottom of the orange so it sits flat (see photo below). Then you can cut off the sides with ease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Using<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Next, you’ll hold the orange in one hand and gently cut inside each membrane<\/strong> (see photo below) to create slices. You’ve now segmented an orange. GO YOU!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Slicing<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Next, it’s on to peeling and slicing kiwi<\/strong> and chopping up an apple<\/strong>! Removing the kiwi peel ensures the best flavor and no fuzzy texture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Slicing<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We then like to cut all the fruit into even bite-sized pieces<\/strong> because somehow it makes the salad taste better. The logic is unexplainable. But trust<\/em>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Bite-sized<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

All that’s left: a drizzle of honey<\/strong> (or maple syrup, if vegan!), a squeeze of lime<\/strong> or lemon, and toss it all together!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Drizzling<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Pomegranate and mint<\/strong> are optional additions for freshness and a pop of color!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Using<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We’re excited for you to try this fruit salad! It’s:

Fresh
Crunchy
Vibrant
Beautiful
Lightly sweetened
Very<\/em> easy to make
& Perfect for winter!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This salad is the best of both worlds: gorgeous enough for the holiday table (include the pomegranate + mint!) and simple enough to throw together when cleaning out an end-of-week fridge!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
