Tips for preparing Fresh Kiwi & Orange Delight
- Choose ripe fruits for the best flavor. A ripe kiwi will yield to gentle pressure, and oranges should feel heavy for their size.
- If you want to make it ahead of time, mix the harder fruits (kiwi and apple) first, and add the delicate orange segments and pomegranate seeds just before serving to keep them fresh.
- Add a splash of lime or lemon juice to prevent the apple from browning if you plan to prepare it in advance. 🍋💡
