Description
A refreshing and creamy fruit salad combining a variety of fresh fruits with a Greek yogurt dressing and optional marshmallows, perfect for a light and healthy dessert or snack.
Ingredients
Fruits
- 1 medium apple, chopped
- 1 cup blueberries
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 cup grapes, halved
- 1 cup strawberries, chopped
- 1 cup pineapple chunks (drained if canned)
Other Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup marshmallows (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Fruit: Wash and thoroughly dry all whole fruits to remove any dirt or residue. If using canned pineapple chunks, drain the juice to avoid excess liquid in the salad.
- Cut the Fruit: Chop the apple and strawberries into bite-sized chunks. Slice the grapes in half to make them easier to eat and distribute more evenly throughout the salad.
- Combine Ingredients: In a large glass bowl, add the chopped apple, blueberries, lemon juice, halved grapes, chopped strawberries, pineapple chunks, Greek yogurt, and marshmallows if using.
- Mix the Salad: Gently toss all ingredients together until the fruit is fully coated with the creamy yogurt dressing, being careful not to mash the softer berries.
- Chill: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate the salad for at least 3 hours to let the flavors meld and the salad to chill.
- Serve: Serve the creamy fruit salad chilled as a delightful and nutritious snack or dessert.
Notes
- Use fresh, ripe fruits for the best flavor and texture.
- Marshmallows are optional but add a fun, sweet texture contrast.
- Adjust lemon juice to taste to prevent the apple from browning.
- Can be made a few hours ahead, but best consumed within 24 hours for freshness.
- For a vegan version, substitute Greek yogurt with a plant-based yogurt alternative.
