Minted Fruit Cup

So I served this right after the soup on Christmas day. Nice and cooling after the hella hot Healthy  Tomato and Sweet Potato soup... I may have added a tad too many hot pepper flakes! A nice change from the usual veg salad. And the original recipe called for pomegranates and oranges, but you know I had to fiddle with the recipe and add more fruit!
Ingredients:
2 tbsps pomegranate arils (you know...the seeds!)
1 cup blueberries
2 cans mandarin orange segments, drained (reserve one can, see NOTE below)
1 Granny Smith apple, cubed/tossed with 1 tsp lemon juice
cubed persimmon (optional)
1/2 cup lightly packed mint leaves
2 tsps sugar

Pulse the mint and sugar until well chopped and combined, then toss with the fruit.
NOTE: if you're making this a day or two ahead of time toss with 1 can of mandarins and cover the top with the second can to help keep the apples nice and white.
Served in a tall stemmed glass it shows off all it's colours!

Recipe serves 7-8
