Description
This Fall Fruit Salad mixes sweet apples, juicy grapes, fresh blackberries, and crunchy pecans in a bright orange maple cinnamon dressing.
Ingredients
1 orange
2 tablespoons maple syrup
¾ teaspoon ground cinnamon
16 ounces red seedless grapes
12 ounces blackberries
1 cup chopped pecans
2 large sweet apples such as Honeycrisp, Fuji, Gala, or Red Delicious
Instructions
1. Zest and juice the orange into a large bowl.
2. Whisk in the maple syrup and cinnamon until smooth.
3. Add the grapes, blackberries, and pecans.
4. Cut the apples into bite-sized cubes and add them immediately to the bowl.
5. Toss everything well so the fruit is evenly coated with the dressing.
6. Serve right away or chill until ready to eat.
Notes
The salad can be made up to 1 day ahead and stored covered in the refrigerator.
Stir before serving to redistribute the dressing.
Sweet apple varieties work best.
Pecans can be replaced with walnuts.
Maple syrup can be swapped with honey if a non-vegan option is acceptable.
About ¼ cup prepared orange juice can replace the juice of one orange.
For crunchier pecans, mix them in just before serving.
Leftovers can be refrigerated in a sealed container for 3 to 4 days, though the salad tastes best within 1 day.
Popular additions include pears, kiwi, pomegranate seeds, figs, persimmons, or orange slices.
