Description

Fresh, juicy fruit tossed in a sweet, creamy dressing—this fruit salad is a refreshing, colorful treat perfect for picnics, parties, or summer dinners.


Ingredients

Scale

Fruit

  • 1 large apple (Honeycrisp or Granny Smith), cored and chopped
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 1 (20 oz) can no-sugar-added pineapple tidbits, drained
  • 1½ cups blueberries
  • 2 cups green or red grapes, whole or halved
  • 1 cup strawberries, chopped

Creamy Dressing

  • 1 cup sugar-free Cool Whip, thawed
  • 1 cup non-fat plain Greek yogurt
  • Dash of vanilla extract


Instructions

  1. Make the Creamy Dressing: In a large mixing bowl, combine the non-fat plain Greek yogurt, a dash of vanilla extract, and thawed sugar-free Cool Whip. Stir everything together until smooth and well blended.
  2. Prepare the Apples: Gently toss the chopped apple with lemon juice in a small bowl to prevent browning. This keeps the apples looking fresh and adds a hint of tang.
  3. Add Fruit to Bowl: Transfer the apples into the bowl with your creamy dressing. Then, add the pineapple tidbits, blueberries, grapes, and chopped strawberries.
  4. Fold Everything Together: Using a spatula, gently fold the fruit into the creamy mixture until all the fruit is evenly coated. Take care not to squish the delicate berries.
  5. Chill: Cover the bowl and refrigerate the fruit salad for at least 1 hour. This resting time helps the flavors meld and makes the salad extra refreshing.
  6. Serve: Give the salad a gentle stir before serving. Enjoy chilled, and garnish with extra fresh fruit if you’d like.

Notes

  • For best texture, chill the salad at least one hour before serving.
  • Use any combination of berries or grapes you like.
  • The salad keeps for up to 2 days in the refrigerator; stir before serving again.
  • If you prefer a sweeter salad, add a touch of honey or agave syrup to the creamy mixture.
  • Make it vegan by using dairy-free whipped topping and yogurt.
