Pomegranate Fruit Salad Recipe

So, I’ve been trying to get better about watching my weight lately.  It’s too easy to watch it go up, up, up and that isn’t what I want.

I am really not a salad kind of person all the time. I like to have different tastes and get tired of eating the same things every day.  So, vegetable salads aren’t a favorite.

This pomegranate fruit salad recipe is perfect because it has so many different tastes and textures. The strawberries are sweet. The oranges are slightly tart. And, the pomegranates have a taste all their own.

What fruit goes with pomegranate?

I love the way citrus and berries taste with pomegranate. So, which ones I use exactly depends on what’s in season and what’s on sale at the grocery store.

In early summer, I am more likely to use extra strawberries. But, later in the season, I toss in fresh blueberries. Of course, you could also add pineapple and mango to this pomegranate fruit salad recipe if you want to. 

Are pomegranates a citrus fruit?

So, pomegranates are not citrus. Citrus includes fruits like oranges, lemons, limes, grapefruit, and tangerines. So, pomegranates belong to the Lythraceae family which is the same family that the Crepe Myrtle tree belongs to.

How do you keep fruit salad fresh?

Fruit salad will go bad quickly when it is exposed to the air. So, that means it is best to store it in a smaller container that is full than a larger container that is half full. Finally, transfer it to a smaller container as you eat more of it.

How long will fruit salad last?

Of course, you should keep this pomegranate fruit salad in the refrigerator so it stays good. So, in the refrigerator, it will stay good for 3 to 5 days provided it’s tightly covered.

Is pomegranate a superfood?

So, I am all about healthy eating and pomegranates are definitely a superfood! Not only are they delicious, but they are also good for you. They contain polyphenols which are antioxidants that are thought by some to be good for heart health and for combating cancer.

Finally, they are a great source of fiber, Vitamin B and Vitamin C. So, this pomegranate fruit salad recipe is a fantastic option for those trying to eat healthier.

What should I serve with this pomegranate fruit salad recipe?

I often have fruit salad in the morning with a cup of my homemade Greek yogurt because it’s quick and easy. It’s really easy to make yogurt in an Instant Pot.

But, you can also have it with burgers or hot dogs when you grill out. So, if you serve it in these orange halves, you have no bowls to wash! Finally, it’s so attractive that it makes a great Christmas fruit salad recipe as well.

So, you can really serve this pomegranate fruit salad recipe any time of the year. And, since citrus is often on sale during the colder times of the month in Vermont, it’s a great choice.

If you want a healthy winter fruit salad with poppy seed dressing, Brianna’s Homestyle Dressing is a great choice. So, why not order a bottle to keep on hand for when you try this recipe.

How do you keep fruit salad from turning brown?

So, I really hate when fruit salad turns brown. Aesthetically, it just doesn’t look nice because that matters when you’re entertaining. However, in order to stop it from turning brown, you can use Fruit Fresh which stops browning and keeps fruit fresh.

Hollowing out an orange for the pomegranate fruit salad recipe

So, one of the reasons this pomegranate fruit salad recipe looks so attractive is that you serve it in hollowed-out orange halves. So, you can use the oranges that you cut up for this pomegranate fruit salad recipe because it’s so festive.

This is how you cut up and deseed a pomegranate for the pomegranate fruit salad recipe because it can be tough if you’re not used to it. So, watch it first to get the hang of it.
