- ½ cup red grapes
- 1/3 cup pomegranate arils
- 3 kiwis, peeled, sliced and halved

Instructions
- Combine fruits: In a large bowl, fold together green grapes, sliced Cosmic Crisp apple, sliced Granny Smith apple, red grapes, pomegranate arils, and sliced and halved kiwis until well mixed.
- Add dressing: Drizzle the mixture with honey and lime juice, gently tossing to evenly coat the fruits without bruising them.
- Fold in delicate berries: Add the raspberries last, carefully folding them in to avoid crushing as they are delicate.

Notes
- For best results, use fresh ripe fruits but avoid overripe ones to prevent mushiness.
- Substitute honey with maple syrup for a vegan option.
- Use lime juice freshly squeezed for optimal flavor.
- Keep the dressing light to maintain the natural sweet and tart balance of the fruits.
- Serve chilled for a refreshing holiday side dish or dessert.
