A fruit salad in winter is the perfect grand finale to some of the season’s heavier meals. Grapes, apples, plums and pears along with mandarins, ruby grapefruit, blood oranges and pomegranates are winter fruit full of flavor and bright hues for your holiday table.
For an adults only dinner, you can add a few tablespoons of Grand Marnier or Cassis to the fruit salad and toss just before serving. Sprinkle with pomegranate seeds.
