Ingredients
Dressing
- 1 orange
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- ¾ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Fruit Salad
- 16 ounces red seedless grapes
- 12 ounces blackberries
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- 2 large sweet apples
Instructions
- Prepare the dressing: In a large bowl, zest and juice the orange. Add 2 tablespoons of maple syrup and ¾ teaspoon of ground cinnamon to the orange juice and zest. Whisk everything together until well combined.
- Add the fruit and nuts: Add the red seedless grapes, blackberries, and chopped pecans to the bowl with the dressing.
- Cube the apples: Core and cut the 2 large sweet apples into bite-size pieces, then immediately add them to the bowl.
- Toss the salad: Gently toss all the ingredients together right away to coat the fruit evenly with the dressing and prevent the apples from browning.
- Serve or store: Serve the fruit salad immediately for the freshest flavor, or cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Notes
- Use sweet apples like Fuji or Honeycrisp for the best flavor and texture.
- To prevent apples from browning, toss them quickly in the dressing and serve soon after mixing.
- Maple syrup can be substituted with honey or agave nectar if preferred.
- For added texture, consider adding a handful of toasted walnuts or almonds.
- This salad is best enjoyed within 24 hours for optimal freshness.
