Notes

Gina's Tips For Recipe Success
  • Cut apples, pears, and kiwis in uniform sizes to ensure an even mix of flavors and textures.
  • Don’t pour the dressing all at once! Start with a little and add more if necessary.
  • Submerge the apples and pears in a little water with a squeeze of lemon while preparing the other ingredients. This will keep them looking fresh. Drain before adding to the salad.
  • Add the pomegranate seeds just before serving to prevent tinting the other fruits.
  • Use fresh fruits, not overly ripe or mushy ones.
