01 -

It transforms basic winter fruits into something that feels special and celebratory without any cooking
The citrus cinnamon dressing makes even the most tired apples taste like they came fresh from an orchard
You can prep it in fifteen minutes and suddenly have something that looks like you planned ahead

02 -

Dont skip the chilling time—the flavors transform from good to incredible after thirty minutes in the refrigerator
Pomegranate seeds can stain everything so wear an apron and use a wooden cutting board
The fruit will release some liquid as it sits, so if you are making this ahead, add the nuts right before serving

03 -

Let your fruit come to room temperature for about ten minutes before serving—the flavors pop so much more
Use a microplane to zest a little of the orange peel into the dressing for an extra layer of citrus flavor
