Ingredients

Scale

Fruit

  • 1 orange (zested and juiced)
  • 16 ounces red seedless grapes
  • 12 ounces blackberries
  • 2 large sweet apples, cubed into bite-sized pieces

Additional Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup chopped pecans

Instructions

  1. Prepare the dressing: In a large bowl, combine the zest and juice of one orange. Add the maple syrup and ground cinnamon, then whisk thoroughly until the mixture is well blended.
  2. Add the fruits and nuts: To the bowl with dressing, add the red seedless grapes, blackberries, and chopped pecans. Cube the sweet apples into bite-sized pieces and add them immediately to the bowl.
  3. Toss to coat: Gently toss all the ingredients together to ensure the fruit and nuts are evenly coated with the orange-cinnamon syrup. This blends the flavors beautifully.
  4. Serve or store: Serve the salad immediately for best freshness or cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. This allows the flavors to meld further.

Notes

  • To prevent apples from browning, toss them quickly in the orange juice mixture before adding other ingredients.
  • This salad is best served fresh but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
  • For a vegan option, ensure your maple syrup is pure and free from additives.
  • Feel free to substitute pecans with walnuts or almonds for a different nutty flavor.
