Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, combine the pomegranate seeds, orange segments, diced apples, diced pears, and halved grapes.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, honey (or maple syrup), and cinnamon until well combined.
Pour the dressing over the fruit and gently toss to coat all the pieces evenly.
Add the dried cranberries and chopped nuts if using, and toss lightly again.
Chill the salad in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld.
Garnish with fresh mint leaves just before serving.

Notes

To prevent the apples and pears from browning, toss them with a little lemon juice before adding them to the salad.
Feel free to swap in other winter fruits like kiwi or persimmons.
For a tropical twist, add some diced pineapple or mango.
