This Apple Pear Fruit Salad is the perfect seasonal treat!
It’s that time of year, apples, pears, and kiwi are all in season.
So I like to take advantage of the abundance of varieties that are available at this time of year.
The apples, pears, and kiwi pair perfectly with a light sweet citrus flavored dressing.
This salad is simple to wipe together in no time at all, packed with vitamin C, and has a crisp bright flavor.
Want to change the salad up every once in a while?
Add in different varieties of nuts or dried fruits.
Nuts to try: Silvered almonds, candied walnuts or pecans.
Dried Fruits to try: Cranberries, blueberries, cherries, or strawberries.
Serve the salad as a side to any meal, as a breakfast, or simply enjoy it as a treat.
Ingredients for the fruit salad
- Apples – Any apple will be a great addition to this salad. My favorites are the gala apple or the pink lady apple.
- Pears – Any pear will do for this salad. I used the bartlett pear.
- Kiwi – Any variety of kiwi can be used in the fruit salad. I have used the golden and green kiwi.
Fruit salad dressing
- Plant Based Milk – I used an unsweetened vanilla flavored almond milk in my dressing. Use your favorite plant based milk.
- Orange Juice – I added just a little orange juice to give the dressing a little tangy sweet citrus flavor.
- Oil – I like to use the mild flavored avocado oil in all my fruit dressings. The oil helps to evenly coat the fruit with the dressing.
- Real Maple Syrup – Maple syrup adds just a little extra sweetness.
- Lemon Juice – Adding a little more citrus to the dressing.
- Poppy Seeds – These seeds add a slight nutty, sweet, and earthy fruity flavor to the dressing.
