Citrus And Pomegranate Fruit Salad (Printable Recipe)
Bright, refreshing salad with pomegranate arils, grapefruits, and oranges in natural magenta syrup.
# Ingredients You'll Need:
→ Fresh Fruits
01 -
1 large pomegranate (or 1¾ cups ready-to-eat pomegranate arils with juices)
02 -
2 large navel oranges
03 -
2 pink grapefruits
→ Optional Sweetener
04 -
1 tablespoon granulated sugar, if needed
# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Place pomegranate on stain-resistant surface. Cut a cross from crown halfway down the fruit. Position large bowl in sink, hold pomegranate crown-down over bowl, and break apart into quarters. Squeeze each quarter firmly to release seeds and juice, bending quarters back to extract remaining seeds. Remove any white membrane pieces, leaving only seeds and juice in bowl.
02 -
Trim top and bottom slices from oranges and grapefruits to create flat surfaces. Using sharp knife, remove all skin and white pith by working around each fruit. Cup fruit in hand over bowl and carefully cut segments from between membranes, cutting only to center of fruit. Squeeze remaining membranes firmly over bowl to extract all juices.
03 -
Taste fruit mixture and add up to 1 tablespoon sugar if additional sweetness is desired. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. Present in individual bowls to allow spooning of accumulated juices with fruit.
# Extra Tips:
01 -
Pomegranate juice will stain wooden cutting boards and countertops - consider using disposable plastic bags as cutting surface protection
02 -
Choose pomegranates that feel heavy for their size with smooth, unblemished skin for best quality
03 -
Pre-packaged pomegranate arils are convenient alternative requiring approximately 1¾ cups with juices
