WINTER FRUIT SALAD – All of my kids favorites in one salad.

The combination of the different fruits is a perfect sweet and sour mixture, that you coat in a simple mixture of lime juice and sugar to brighten up the flavors just a bit (and to keep your apples and bananas from turning brown  )

The textures of each of the fruits go so well together too, with the crunchy pomegranate seeds and apple pieces, juicy mandarin orange slices, and soft banana and kiwi pieces.

This side dish comes together fairly quickly (especially if you buy pomegranate seeds instead of a fresh pomegranate – because is anyone else still terrible at cutting those things open?) and is the perfect holiday side dish. Its great for dinner with your family, a lighter dish to take to, or serve at a party, or even Christmas or New Year’s Day!
