Winter Fruit and Pasta Salad

Ingredients

• 1 cup mini farfalle pasta
• 2 mandarin oranges, peeled and segmented
• 2 kiwi fruits – peeled, sliced, and quartered
• 1 medium apple, diced
• 1 medium Bartlett pear, cored and diced
• 0.25 cup sweetened dried cranberries (such as Ocean Spray® Craisins®)
• 2 tablespoons pomegranate arils
• 2 tablespoons minced celery
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon poppy seeds

Steps

1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook farfalle at a boil, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 7 minutes. Rinse under cold water and drain well.
2. Meanwhile, combine mandarin orange sections, kiwi, apple, pear, dried cranberries, pomegranate arils, and celery in a large bowl.
3. Add pasta to the fruit salad, mixing until well combined.
4. Whisk lime juice, honey, olive oil, and poppy seeds together in a small bowl. Pour over pasta salad and stir until combined. Place in the refrigerator until flavors have blended, about 30 minutes.
