Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by washing and chopping the fruits for your Winter Fruit Salad. Dice two red apples and two ripe pears into bite-sized pieces, then peel and segment three clementine oranges (or mandarins). Additionally, peel and slice one kiwi thinly before cutting it into quarters. In a large mixing bowl, gently combine all the fruits, ensuring a vibrant medley of colors and textures.
  2. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together three tablespoons of pure maple syrup and the juice of one freshly squeezed lime. Combine these ingredients until smooth, creating a sweet and tangy dressing that will enhance the flavors of your Winter Fruit Salad.
  3. Once the fruit is prepared and the dressing is ready, pour the dressing over the fruit mixture in the large bowl. Gently toss all the ingredients together using a spatula or wooden spoon, ensuring that the fruits are evenly coated with the delicious maple-lime dressing.
  4. For the best taste and texture, serve your Winter Fruit Salad right after tossing. Spoon the colorful salad into serving bowls, showcasing the vibrant array of fruits.
