Tips:
- For a sweeter salad, use ripe and juicy fruits. If your fruits are tart, you may want to add a little bit of honey or maple syrup to the dressing.
- If you don't have poppy seeds, you can substitute with chia seeds or chopped walnuts.
- To make a vegan version of the dressing, use almond milk instead of regular milk.
- This salad is best served fresh, but you can make it ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours.
Conclusion:
This winter fruit salad is a delicious and refreshing way to enjoy the flavors of the season. The combination of sweet, tart, and crunchy fruits is perfect for a light dessert or a healthy snack.
