FRUIT SALAD WITH VANILLA YOGURT
This is a recipe that my aunt made for me not long ago, and you can pretty much make it your own by adding your favorite fruits or taking out what you don't like. Also changing the yogurt flavor will change the taste as well.

FRESH FRUIT WITH GREEK YOGURT DIP/DRESSING
This is great with all kinds of fruit (strawberries, blueberries, kiwi, bananas, grapes, canteloupe, apples, etc.). When one of my friends stayed with me during a visit, I came up with this for a quick breakfast before we headed out for the day. If I make it for just a few people, I serve it on the side so you have the option to dip your fruit or top it with as little or as much as you prefer. I make a big bowl of fresh fruit (8-10 cups of whatever is in season) along with this recipe. I have also served it for a family brunch and used this as a yogurt dressing for the fruit. I came back with no leftovers, and several requests for the recipe. This stuff is good!!!
