This simple and bright-tasting pomegranate orange salad compliments a heavy meat-based dish well.
Remove the pomegranate seeds using the underwater method to keep the juice contained.

We serve this delicious cranberry fruit salad at every Thanksgiving and Christmas. Fresh cranberries are only in season a short time — so this is a real treat! It’s also delicious to make ahead, as the flavor gets better with time.
Dice apples. Peel and dice oranges.
Rinse cranberries, removing mushy ones. Rough chop cranberries.
In a large bowl, combine apples, oranges, and cranberries. Add orange juice and sweetener. The orange juice helps preserve the apples and kick-starts the self-juicing of the cranberries.
Can be served immediately, or may be eaten for several days. Tastes great after being chilled overnight. Eat plain or enjoy as a garnish to yogurt.
A crowd-pleasing tasty salad I often take to potlucks.
Fill a large bowl about 1/2 full of water and add the lemon juice. Quarter each apple, then cut the core out. Thinly slice wedges off each quarter. Add to the bowl just as soon as they are sliced to keep from browning. As the bowl gets full, rotate the apples to make sure each slice comes into contact with the lemon juice. Add more water if necessary. When all apples are sliced and coated, drain the excess water.
Add the rest of the ingredients and toss well. Adjust seasonings and sweetener to taste. Chill if not serving right away.
