Winter Fruit Salad

2 cups clementine oranges, peeled and segmented (about 3 or 4)

2 pears, diced

2 apples (Fuji or Honeycrisp), thinly sliced with peels left on

5 kiwis, peeled and diced

¾ cup pomegranate arils

DRESSING:

¼ cup honey

1 large lemon

1 large orange

1 tsp poppy seeds

Fresh chopped mint, optional

Refrigerate all the fruit beforehand so the salad is cold and refreshing.

Zest and juice the lemon to get 1 tsp zest and 2 Tbs juice. Zest and juice the orange to get 1 tsp zest and 2 Tbs juice. In a jar combine juices, zests, honey, and poppy seeds. Shake well.

In a large open bowl or platter, combine the clementines, diced pears, sliced apples, and diced kiwis. Pour on the dressing, adding just enough to coat the fruit. You may not need all of it. Gently toss to mix.

Sprinkle pomegranate seeds, and fresh mint (if using) on top. Serve right away. This is best enjoyed within 1-3 hours. Leftovers do not keep well.
