09 - 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
10 - Pinch of salt
# Directions:
01 - In a large bowl, combine the diced apple, pear, grapes, pomegranate arils, dried cranberries, and walnuts.
02 - In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, orange juice, cinnamon, and salt until smooth and fully incorporated.

# Expert Tips:
01 -
- The honey and orange juice create a natural glaze that makes every fruit taste like it was picked at peak ripeness
- It comes together in literally ten minutes but looks like you spent way more effort on it
02 -
- The apples will start to oxidize slightly after sitting, but the orange juice in the dressing helps prevent excessive browning
- Letting it sit for an hour in the fridge actually improves the flavor as everything melds together
03 -
- Core the apple from the bottom to preserve the pretty natural shape until you are ready to dice it
- Roll the orange on your counter before cutting to maximize the juice you can extract
