Notes

*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.
