Fresh Fruit In A White Wine Ginger Marinade Recipes

GINGERED WINTER FRUIT AMBROSIA

Steps:

• Whisk together the lime juice, honey or agave nectar and ginger in a small bowl.

Hold the grapefruit over your serving bowl and cut the sections away from the membranes that separate them. Place in the bowl.
• Peel, core and dice the pears. Add to the grapefruit. Add the grapes, dates, pomegranate seeds and chia seeds. Stir the lime-ginger marinade and toss with the fruit. Chill for 30 minutes or longer and toss again.
• Sprinkle the coconut over the top and serve.
