 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.

Notes

How to Store

To store the winter fruit salad, place it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. The fruit salad will keep for 2 days in the refrigerator.

How to Make Ahead

To make the easy winter fruit salad ahead of time, you can prepare the fruit and store it in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 2 days. It is best to store the fruit salad without the sugar, as it can cause the fruit to become mushy over time. If you prefer to serve the fruit salad with the sugar, you can sprinkle the sugar into the fruit salad just before serving; this will help prevent the fruit from becoming soggy. In addition, you may want to omit the kiwis or add them just before serving, as they tend to break down faster than other types of fruit.
