This gorgeous winter fruit salad dotted with juicy pomegranate seeds is a welcome relief from all the overindulgence of the holidays. The best part is you can make it ahead: the citrus juice keeps the apple and pear from discoloring (although the pomegranate juice does turn all the fruit slightly pink).

Pomegranates are delicious but messy to work with, and the juice stains. Be sure to wear an old shirt (an apron alone won't cut it) and work over a bowl in the sink so the juice doesn't splatter over your countertops or cutting boards.
