Christmas Fruit Salad

Serve this dish as a flamboyant breakfast or showstopping desert as a lighter option this Christmas time. Its packed full of juicy fruit and festive flavours such as pomegranate and cranberries.

Method

1. Start by washing all your fruits and roughly drying them.
2. In a small bowl combine the apple juice with the juice of the lemon. This will be your fruit salad dressing.
3. Green layer: Slice the green grapes in half and chop green the apples into cubes. Put them into a bowl and add half the fruit salad dressing and toss to coat. Add them to your serving dish.
4. Red layer: Slice the red grapes and chop the red apples. Put them into a dish with the cranberries and half of the pomegranate seeds and add the remaining fruit salad dressing. Toss to coat and add these to the serving dish to create the next layer.
5. Yoghurt layer: Top the fruit with the yoghurt, spreading it evenly. If you are making this ahead of time, stop here and refrigerate until you need it then continue to step 6.
6. Granola layer: Mix the pistachio nuts with the granola and top the yoghurt with it.
7. Fruit topping: Pile most of the remainder of pomegranate seeds in the middle of the bowl, sprinkling a few around the edges. Cut the skin from the pineapple and cut into large rounds, use a cookie cutter (or a knife) to cut out star shapes and top the fruit salad with these. Serve and enjoy!
