FRESH FRUIT WITH GREEK YOGURT DIP/DRESSING

Fresh Fruit With Greek Yogurt Dip/Dressing image

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!!!

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.
