Winter Fruit Salad Recipe<\/h2>\n

Typically we think of fruit salads as a summer side dish but there’s still an abundance of fruit in season during winter so why not take advantage of that and make a healthy winter fruit salad?<\/p>\n

I first shared this recipe eight years ago and we’ve made it several times each year since. It’s so good it almost passes as a tempting dessert!<\/p>\n

This is a great dish to add to a holiday menu because there are often lots of heavy sides served but this is a light, refreshing and nutritious option to help balance those out a bit.<\/p>\n

You’ll find this inviting fruit salad is so easy to make and it adds so much festive natural color to your table.<\/p>\n

Just keep in mind the most important thing about a fruit salad is the quality of the fruit. You want the fruit to have a sweet ripe flavor and firm enough texture that it won’t get mushy.<\/p>\n

From there the honey and lemon will just balance and highlight all of it’s natural, fresh fruity goodness.<\/p>\n
