Ingredients
Scale
Fruits
- 1 orange (zest and juice)
- 16 ounces red seedless grapes
- 12 ounces blackberries
- 2 large sweet apples, cubed
Other Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 cup chopped pecans
Instructions
- Prepare the dressing: In a large bowl, add the zest and juice of one orange. Add maple syrup and ground cinnamon, then whisk thoroughly to combine all the flavors.
- Add fruits and nuts: Add the red seedless grapes, blackberries, and chopped pecans to the bowl. Cube the sweet apples into bite-sized pieces, then add them immediately to the bowl.
- Toss the salad: Toss all the ingredients together gently but thoroughly to coat the fruit with the orange-maple-cinnamon dressing, ensuring every piece is flavored.
- Serve or store: Serve the salad immediately for the freshest taste, or cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. It maintains its flavor and texture well when chilled.
Notes
- Use sweet apples like Fuji or Honeycrisp for the best balance of tartness and sweetness.
- Chilling the salad before serving enhances the flavors but avoid storing for more than 24 hours to keep freshness and prevent sogginess.
- Maple syrup adds a natural sweetness and pairs well with the cinnamon and orange zest.
- Optional: sprinkle additional chopped pecans on top for extra crunch just before serving.
