Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 medium Bartlett pears (or other ripe but firm pears, diced)
2 medium apples (a fresh, crisp variety like honeycrisp, cripps, or pink lady is best, diced)

2 teaspoons freshly grated lemon zest (from 1 medium lemon)
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (from the zested lemon)

1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoons ground nutmeg
1/3 cup pecans* (chopped)

Steps:

I'm allergic to nuts, so I substituted sunflower seeds in the dressing. It was still delicious!

I'm not a huge fan of cinnamon, but I didn't find it overpowering in this dressing.

This is the perfect make-ahead dish. I made it the night before my party and it was even better the next day.

The cinnamon-Greek yogurt dressing is the star of this show. It's creamy, tangy, and just the right amount of sweet.

I'm not usually a fan of fruit salad, but this one changed my mind. The dressing is amazing and really brings out the flavors of the fruits.
