  • 2 red apples, chopped
  • 2 green pears, chopped
  • 1 cup red grapes, halved
  • 1/2 cup pomegranate seeds
  • 2 kiwi, peeled and sliced
  • 1 banana, sliced (optional, add before serving)
  • 1 tbsp fresh mint, chopped (optional)
  • 2 tbsp pure maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp fresh lime juice
  • 1/2 tsp lime zest
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  2. In a small bowl, whisk together maple syrup, lime juice, lime zest, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
  3. Pour dressing over the fruit and gently toss to coat evenly.
