How to Make Winter Fruit Salad

While the Summer months tend to steal the show when it comes to the produce department, some of our very favorite fruits are in peak season during the Winter! Fruit salad is the perfect way to introduce new fruits to your kiddos. In this recipe, we chop the fruit small and toss them in a sweet citrus-y dressing. Delicious!

We also love how adaptable this fruit salad is! Can’t find ripe kiwi? Allergic to pears? Leave them out or substitute whatever fruit you have on hand. You can’t go wrong.

Fruit Salad Glaze

The dressing is super simple and works with so many different fruits! We made a simple glaze with honey and orange juice with some poppy seeds for added crunch. They also add a healthy dose of fiber, manganese and protein!

We hope you love this Christmas Fruit Salad as much as we do!
