  • 16 ounces red seedless grapes

Method
 

Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the zest and juice of one orange.
  2. Add the maple syrup and ground cinnamon to the bowl, whisking thoroughly until well incorporated.
  3. Add the grapes, blackberries, and chopped pecans to the dressing mixture.
  4. Core and cube the apples into bite-sized pieces, then immediately add them to the bowl.
  5. Toss all ingredients gently until the fruit is evenly coated with the dressing.
  6. Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Notes

Make ahead: Salad can be prepared up to one day ahead and stored, covered, in the refrigerator. Give your salad a quick toss just before serving to redistribute the dressing. The dressing helps prevent the apples from oxidizing and turning brown.
