FRUIT SALAD WITH LIME YOGURT DRESSING

Fruit Salad With Lime Yogurt Dressing image

This is one of my favorite fruit salad recipes! I can't remember where I got it from originally. This works well with prety much any combination of fruit you can imagine and is great for feeding a crowd in the summer - it easily doubles or triples as needed!! Prep time includes chilling time for the dressing (with the idea that you will cut up your fruit while the dressing is in the fridge) and cook time is the time that the salad sits before serving.
