Ingredients

• 1 cup pomegranate seeds
• 2 medium orange
• 1 large grapefruit
• 3 medium kiwi
• 1 medium apple
• 1 medium pear
• 1 cup seedless red grapes
• 0.5 cup sour cream
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• 0.25 cup roasted pecans (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing the fruits: deseed the pomegranate and set aside 1 cup of the seeds.

Step 2

Peel and segment the oranges and grapefruit, removing any membranes. Cut the segments into bite-sized pieces.

Step 3

Peel the kiwis and slice them into thin rounds or bite-sized pieces, depending on your preference.

Step 4

Core and dice the apple and pear into small cubes. To prevent browning, lightly toss them in the lemon juice.

Step 5

Wash the seedless red grapes and cut them in half if they are large.

Step 6

In a small bowl, whisk together the sour cream, honey, vanilla extract, and any remaining lemon juice until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust the honey for sweetness if needed.

Step 7

In a large mixing bowl, combine the pomegranate seeds, orange and grapefruit segments, kiwi slices, apple cubes, pear cubes, and grapes.

Step 8

Gently toss the fruits to mix them evenly without bruising them.

Step 9

Drizzle the honey sour cream dressing over the fruit mixture and gently stir to coat the fruit evenly.

Step 10

Transfer the fruit salad to a serving bowl or platter.

Step 11

If desired, garnish with roasted pecans for added crunch and flavor. Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes before serving.
