Ingredients

• strawberries
• kiwis
• red grapes
• blueberries
• pineapple
• mandarin oranges
• mangoes
• Greek yogurt
• honey
• mint leaves (optional, for garnish)

Step by step

1. Begin by washing and slicing the fruit, then transfer it to a large mixing bowl.
2. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the yogurt and honey.
3. Drizzle the prepared mixture over the fruit and gently toss to coat everything evenly. If desired, add fresh mint as a garnish.
4. Refrigerate until serving time. Before serving, give it another toss to evenly distribute any dressing that has settled at the bottom.

Variations

Play around with different fruits such as raspberries, blackberries, melons, apples, pears, or bananas to find your favorite combination. Fresh fruit is the ideal, but if necessary, you can substitute with drained canned pineapple (20 oz.) or mandarin oranges (15 oz.). I don’t recommend frozen fruit, as it tends to become too soft once thawed.

I used vanilla-flavored Greek yogurt, but you can try other flavors like strawberry, honey, mixed berry, or lemon. If you opt for plain Greek yogurt, adding ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract will enhance its taste. Additionally, lemon can be swapped for lime, and maple syrup can take the place of honey.

Serving suggestions

It’s hard to go wrong with fresh fruit salad! Enjoy it as-is, or use it to top yogurt or oatmeal. I also love serving it as part of a brunch spread or at summer BBQs.

Storage

You’ll get the best flavor and texture if you eat this salad fresh, but if you need to store it, an airtight container in the fridge will keep it good for up to two days. The fruit will soften and release juices, so storing the dressing separately helps keep things fresh.
