Notes

  • For extra brightness, you can add 1/2 cup of sliced kiwi to this easy winter fruit salad.
  • If you are making this ahead for a holiday potluck, keep the dressing separate and toss the salad just before serving to keep the apples and pears crisp.
  • This recipe is naturally gluten free and vegetarian.
