*Nutritional facts are only an estimate. Accuracy for nutritional information on any recipes on this site is not guaranteed.
For a nice presentation, cut the kiwi last and add them at the top to prevent them from crushing, then add the pomegranate as a garnish to prevent bleeding onto the other fruit.
You can make this salad in advance, chop the fruit and keep them in separate containers, when ready to serve, assemble it and add the dressing.
Use seasonal fall fruit like honey crisp, gala and red golden apples and firm Bartlett or Anjou pears.
Lemon juice is added to the dressing to enhance the fruit flavors and also to prevent them from browning.
The salad with dressing keeps well overnight in an airtight container.
