Description

A vibrant and refreshing Immunity-Boosting Pomegranate & Citrus Salad packed with antioxidant-rich fruits, omega-3 loaded walnuts, and natural honey syrup that supports immune health and digestion.


Ingredients

Scale

Fruits

  • 1 pomegranate, seeds extracted
  • 1 orange, segmented
  • 1 grapefruit, segmented
  • 1/2 cup cranberries (fresh or dried)

Add-ins

  • 1/4 cup chopped walnuts
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tsp cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Combine Fruits: In a large bowl, place the pomegranate seeds, orange segments, grapefruit segments, and cranberries together to prepare the fruit base of the salad.
  2. Add Dressing: Drizzle the honey and fresh lemon juice evenly over the mixed fruits, then sprinkle the cinnamon on top to enhance flavor and offer digestive benefits.
  3. Toss Salad: Gently toss the fruit mixture to evenly coat with the honey-lemon-cinnamon dressing, ensuring flavor is well distributed without bruising the fruits.
  4. Add Walnuts: Sprinkle chopped walnuts on top for a crunchy texture and added omega-3 nutrients.
  5. Serve Fresh: Serve immediately to enjoy the freshest flavors and maximum vitamin C potency, essential for boosting immunity.

Notes

  • Use fresh cranberries if possible; dried cranberries work as an alternative but add a bit more sweetness.
  • For added texture, consider adding a handful of pomegranate arils as garnish on top.
  • Adjust honey quantity based on preferred sweetness.
  • This salad is best consumed fresh to retain the nutritional benefits of the fruit.
