# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It brings a pop of sunshine to the coldest months of the year.
  • The combination of textures from crisp apples to juicy pomegranate is incredibly satisfying.
02 -
  • Dress the salad right before serving to keep the fruit from getting soggy.
  • Apple and pear oxidize quickly, so toss them in a little lime juice as you chop if prepping ahead.
03 -
  • Use a sharp knife to segment the oranges so you get clean juicy sections without the membrane.
  • Chill your bowl in the freezer for 10 minutes before serving to keep the salad extra crisp.
