Prepare the fruits and vegetables

Remove the arils from the pomegranate. A good trick is to cut it in half, hold it cut-side down over a bowl, and tap the back with a spoon.
Peel and segment the orange, then dice the segments into bite-sized pieces.
Dice the cucumber into small, uniform pieces.
Wash the grapes and slice them in half.

Make the lime-mint dressing

In a small bowl, add the freshly squeezed lime juice and finely chopped mint leaves.
Add the salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Whisk gently until everything is well combined.

Combine and serve

In a large serving bowl, gently combine the pomegranate arils, diced orange, cucumber, and halved grapes.
Pour the lime-mint dressing over the fruit mixture.
Toss gently to coat everything evenly without mashing the fruit.
For the best flavor, chill the salad in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes before serving.
