A refreshing and vibrant Fall Fruit Salad featuring a mix of sweet apples, crisp grapes, juicy blackberries, and crunchy pecans, all tossed in a zesty orange and cinnamon maple dressing. Perfect as a healthy snack or a festive side dish during the autumn season.

Ingredients

Scale

Fruit

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

Dressing

  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Add-ins

  • 1 cup chopped pecans

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dressing: In a large bowl, zest and juice one orange. Add 2 tablespoons of maple syrup and 3/4 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, then whisk everything together until well combined to create a flavorful dressing.
  2. Add the Fruit and Nuts: Add 16 ounces of red seedless grapes, 12 ounces of blackberries, and 1 cup of chopped pecans to the bowl with the dressing.
  3. Cube and Toss Apples: Cube 2 large sweet apples into bite-size pieces, then immediately add them to the bowl. Toss all the fruit and nuts quickly to coat them evenly in the dressing, ensuring the flavors meld nicely without the apples browning too much.
  4. Serve or Store: Serve the salad immediately for the freshest taste or cover and refrigerate until ready to serve, keeping it chilled and crisp.

Notes

  • For best results, serve the salad fresh to preserve the texture of the apples and berries.
  • Chilling the salad for 30 minutes can enhance the flavors, but avoid storing too long as apples may brown over time.
  • Feel free to substitute pecans with walnuts or almonds for a different crunch.
  • This salad is naturally sweetened but can be adjusted with more or less maple syrup based on taste preferences.
