Ingredients

Scale

Fruits

  • 45 medium sized oranges, peeled and chopped
  • 1½ cups strawberries, cut in half
  • 4 kiwis, peeled and quartered
  • 1 cup blueberries
  • ¾ cup pomegranate seeds

Dressing

  • ¼ cup fresh orange juice
  • 1½ tsp honey
  • ½ tsp poppy seeds

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the fresh orange juice, honey, and poppy seeds until fully combined. Place the dressing in the fridge to chill and allow the flavors to meld.
  2. Combine the Fruit: In a large bowl, add the chopped oranges, halved strawberries, quartered kiwis, blueberries, and pomegranate seeds.
  3. Toss the Salad: Drizzle the chilled orange poppy seed dressing over the fruit. Gently toss the salad to ensure all the fruit pieces are evenly coated with the dressing.
  4. Serve Immediately: Once dressed, serve the salad right away to enjoy the fresh flavors and crisp textures at their best.

Notes

  • Use the freshest fruits available for best flavor and texture.
  • You can substitute honey with agave syrup to make the dressing vegan.
  • For a tangier flavor, add a teaspoon of lemon juice to the dressing.
  • This salad is best served immediately; fruit can release juices and become soggy if left too long.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one day.
