I love fruit... it's my favorite go to snack. Whenever I go to a potluck picnic or brunch I always throw together a huge bowl of this salad and almost never have any left to take home.

Categories     Fruit Sides

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 large apples, cored and diced
1 large can pineapple chunks in natural juices (drained)
1 large can peaches in natural juices, (drained) or 4 large peaches pitted and sliced
1 large bunch seedless grapes... red or green
3 - 4 large bananas sliced

1 jar(s) maraschino cherries, (drained)
1 pint(s) vanilla yogurt
1 cup(s) orangejuice
1 can(s) angel flake cocoanut (optional)
1 package(s) miniature marshmallows (optional)

Steps:

  • in a large serving bowl, mix together all the fruits.
  • blend yogurt and orange juice together and pour over the fruit, mix well
  • can add coconut and marshmallows if you choose... it's good with and without it.
  • * can add other fruits as well... Kiwi is a favorite of mine, as are mandarine oranges, pomagranate seeds, and dried cranberries. Best to use whatever is in season.. this is just the way I usually make it. * this salad is just as tasty without the dressing, and if you choose you can substitute sour cream for the yogurt - if you do though I'd omit the orangejuice.

Time 38m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 17

¾ cup extra-virgin olive oil
¼ cup good-quality balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger root
½ teaspoon minced garlic
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste
½ teaspoon salt, divided, or to taste
¼ teaspoon ground white pepper, or to taste
1 tablespoon vegetable oil, or more as needed
½ teaspoon smoked paprika
½ teaspoon granulated garlic
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 pound pork tenderloin, cut crosswise into 1/2-inch thick slices
3 medium (blank)s fresh peaches - pitted, skinned, and sliced
1 bunch kale, stems removed and discarded
1 cup matchstick-cut carrots
1 cup fresh blueberries

Steps:

  • Combine olive oil, balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, minced ginger, minced garlic, cayenne, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and white pepper in a pint-sized jar with a lid.

  • Sprinkle both sides of pork slices with dry spice mixture and allow to stand at room temperature until the grill is ready.
  • Place seasoned pork slices on the grill and do not touch for about 2 minutes. Using tongs, flip the slices and continue to grill until grill marks form and the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees F (62 degrees C), an additional 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the grill and set aside.
  • Place peach slices across the grate and grill until grill marks form, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Add to the reserved grilled pork slices.
  • Make a bundle of kale leaves and slice across into 1/8-inch slices. Place sliced kale and carrots in a large mixing bowl. Add grilled pork slices and grilled peaches, and toss with desired amount of dressing (see note).
