This fruit salad is inspired by three things:

  1. My fear of kiwi (it’s such a weird, fuzzy little fruit, isn’t it?)
  2. Being sick for over 2 weeks and wanting something light and healthy to nourish my body.
  3. My need for something quick and easy to whip up before my next bronchospasm.

This recipe is so easy to make, requiring only 5 ingredients and about 10 minutes to prepare.

And let’s not forget the taste factor here; this fruit salad is seriously delicious. Ripe winter fruit is tossed with a very simple, light and healthy Lime-Maple dressing, a pinch of sea salt and sprinkled with sesame seeds. The bomb!

    1. Thank you Madi, for your comment. The dressing is quite simple, but so appropriate for this salad. I hope you get a chance to try it.

  1. Simple and delicious! I love kiwis.. though I don’t know how to choose the best ones, sometimes I pick up extremely sour ones 🙁
    love the dressing too, will go great on many salads!
    Thanks for sharing

    1. Thanks for your comment, Ashima. I think they are similar to other fruit when they are ripe, they are a little soft.

  2. What a gorgeous winter salad! I remember when I could first get kiwis – they did look odd, but we’d cut them in half and eat them with a spoon. Took me a while to get around to peeling them!

    1. Hi Anne, thank you. Ya, I explain in the post that for some reason, I have always had a strange fear or kiwi. I was half joking, but only half! Thanks for your comment.

  3. 5 stars
    This looks fantastic, and especially perfect right now because my son just started to be obsessed with kiwi – he will eat 2+ whole kiwi in one sitting as long as I’m willing to keep peeling and cutting them for him! He’s 2.5 so I’m happy when he eats pretty much anything green – ha. The dressing sounds lovely, as well. Great winter salad!

    1. Thank you Monica. That’s so cool you little one likes Kiwi. Maybe you have a budding vegan! Thanks for your comment.

  4. 5 stars
    I have the same fear of kiwi, which is why I’ve never bought them! I keep telling myself to get over it and just buy a couple to see what I can do with them. That stinks about being sick, but this salad sure looks like a delicious and light way to eat

  5. 5 stars
    This salad sounds absolutely delightful. I love the sound of the light maple and lime dressing. And such a great idea to celebrate winter fruits, which get overlooked, I think!

  6. 5 stars
    This salad is very pretty, and so simple to prepare. I can’t believe how easy it is. I’m adding all of your ingredients to my shopping list, so I can make this soon. I love simple fruit salads.

    1. Thank you Patti, so glad to hear you will be making it soon. Be sure to take a picture and let us know how you liked it.

    1. Thank you Monica and a quick trip to the store and you can have some! Only 5 ingredients; 8 total if you use my dressing recipe too!
