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
- 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.
- 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.
- Add Fruit to Bowl: Transfer the apples into the bowl with your creamy dressing. Then, add the pineapple tidbits, blueberries, grapes, and chopped strawberries.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
