Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Winter Fruit Salad
  1. Begin by peeling the kiwi and slicing it into bite-sized pieces. Wash and dice the red apple into cubes, removing the core. Peel the mandarins and separate them into segments, while slicing bananas into thick rounds.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, gently combine all prepared fruits: kiwi, apple, mandarins, bananas, pomegranate arils, red grapes, and dried cranberries.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together honey and fresh lemon juice until smooth to create a syrupy dressing.
  4. Pour the honey-lemon dressing over the fruit mixture and gently toss to coat each piece.
  5. Sprinkle freshly chopped mint leaves over the top and serve immediately.
