Ingredients
Scale
Fruit
- 1 orange (zested and juiced)
- 16 ounces red seedless grapes
- 12 ounces blackberries
- 2 large sweet apples, cubed
Dressing & Add-ins
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 cup chopped pecans
Instructions
- Prepare the dressing: In a large bowl, zest and juice the orange. Add the maple syrup and ground cinnamon to the orange juice and zest, then whisk together thoroughly to combine all the flavors.
- Add the fruit and nuts: Into the bowl with the dressing, add the red seedless grapes, blackberries, and chopped pecans. Cube the sweet apples into bite-sized pieces and add them immediately to the bowl.
- Toss the salad: Toss all the ingredients gently but thoroughly to ensure the dressing evenly coats all the fruit and nuts.
- Serve or store: Serve the salad immediately for the freshest taste, or cover and refrigerate until ready to serve, keeping the fruit fresh and flavors well melded.
Notes
- Use firm, crisp apples like Gala or Fuji for the best texture.
- For added flavor, try sprinkling a pinch of nutmeg or ginger in the dressing.
- Can be prepared a few hours in advance and refrigerated, but toss gently before serving if juices settle.
- To keep apples from browning, toss them quickly in lemon juice before adding to the salad if preferred.
