Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (20 ounce) can pineapple tidbits (drained well)
1 (11 ounce) can mandarin oranges (drained well)
1 cup green grapes (halved)
1 cup red grapes (halved)
1 cup strawberries (sliced)
1 cup blueberries
1 cup blackberries
2 bananas (sliced)
2 (5.3 ounce) containers vanilla Greek yogurt

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, mix all fruit together.
  • Gently fold yogurt into fruit.
  • Serve.
  • You can also make this a couple hours before and keep in the fridge, but I found that it was pretty watery the next day from all the fruit juices.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, flavorful fruits. Nothing is worse than a fruit salad made with unripe or bland fruit. Make sure to use the best fruit you can find, as it will make all the difference in the final dish.
  • Cut the fruit into bite-sized pieces. This will make it easier to eat and more enjoyable to serve.
  • Use a variety of fruits. The more variety, the more interesting and flavorful your fruit salad will be. Some good combinations to try include berries, melons, citrus fruits, and tropical fruits.
  • Add some sweetness. If your fruit is not very sweet, you can add a little honey, sugar, or agave nectar to taste.
  • Add some crunch. Adding some nuts, seeds, or granola to your fruit salad will give it a nice crunchy texture.
  • Add some flavor. You can add some flavor to your fruit salad by adding some herbs, spices, or extracts. Some good options include mint, basil, cinnamon, and vanilla.
  • Chill the fruit salad before serving. This will help to keep it refreshing and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Greek yogurt fruit salad is a healthy, refreshing, and delicious snack or breakfast option. It is easy to make and can be customized to your own liking.
