The first thing I reach for Christmas morning are the cookies. I mean, you need energy to open presents, you know? But then I immediately regret it… stomachache much?

Easy Christmas Fruit Salad Ingredients
- Red and green apples: for red apples I like using crisp and sweet Cosmic Crisp (my fave apple) and tart Granny Smith apples
- Pomegranate arils: my favorite addition, these are so beautiful and deeply red
- Red and green grapes: I love this combo and use it in grape salad too!
- Kiwis: be sure to peel and halve these before adding to the recipe for Christmas fruit salad
- Raspberries: we’ll put these on last to avoid crushing them
- Honey + Fresh Lime Juice: just two easy ingredients to make the salad dressing
How to Make Christmas Morning Fruit Salad
Making fruit salad for Christmas brunch takes just two steps. It’s quick and easy, yielding the most delicious results for Christmas morning!
- Add green grapes, apple slices, red grapes, pomegranate, and kiwis to a large salad bowl. Fold until well mixed.
- Drizzle with honey and lime to coat. Sprinkle on raspberries and fold in very gently. Enjoy and serve with Snickers salad for a special treat!
Dressing for the Best Christmas Fruit Salad
The dressing for Christmas morning fruit salad is very simple, consisting of honey and fresh lime juice. Skip bottled as it won’t taste as good. Instead of whisking the two ingredients together, we’ll just need to drizzle it over the salad to coat.
How Long Can I Keep Christmas Fruit Salad?
I recommend making and serving it right away just like with pear salad. If not, store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 1-2 days. Any longer and it will spoil.
