Preparation Steps
  1. In a large mixing bowl, start by dicing your fresh pears and apples into bite-sized pieces. Squeeze in the lemon juice to coat the fruits.
  2. Gently fold in the pomegranate seeds, red seedless grapes, kiwi slices, banana chunks, walnuts (if using), and dried cranberries.
  3. In a separate small bowl, whisk together orange juice, honey, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
  4. Pour the cinnamon vanilla dressing over the fruit mixture and gently toss to ensure every piece of fruit is evenly coated.
  5. Cover your mixing bowl and place it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  6. Before serving, gently toss the salad one last time and transfer to a serving dish or individual bowls.
