How to Make Winter Fruit Salad
Note: The full instructions are provided in the recipe card below.
If using a whole pomegranate, remove the arils (seeds) by cutting the fruit into quarters, then break it apart in a bowl of water. Skim off the pith that floats to the top and drain the seeds and place them into a large bowl. Alternatively, you can purchase pre-packaged pomegranate arils to save time.
Next, peel the oranges and grapefruit with a paring knife, cut the ends off, and stand upright. Finally, cut away the remaining skin and membrane, exposing the fruit. Hold an orange over the large bowl and cut along both sides of each membrane to free the segments, letting them fall into the large bowl.
Squeeze each empty membrane to release the juices. Repeat with the remaining orange and grapefruit. Next, using a vegetable peeler, peel and slice the kiwis and place them into the large bowl. Sprinkle the sugar (to taste) over the fruit and add the mint and toss to distribute it evenly. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
