Creamy Fruit Salad

This Creamy Fruit Salad is a quick and easy side dish that is made with creamy Greek yogurt and sweetened naturally with honey!

When I look at this salad I instantly think spring or summer. All the fresh fruit and vibrant colors instantly lift my spirits.

A few other great salads to enjoy this summer are: Panzanella Salad with Mozzarella, Easy Greek Salad, and Old Fashioned Potato Salad.

Yogurt Fruit Salad

I took an old recipe for fruit salad that typically uses mayonnaise or sour cream for the dressing and lightened it up.

I replaced it with Greek yogurt to make a super light and healthy salad. My kids love to eat fruit salad and they even eat this for breakfast! Top it with some granola and now you have a breakfast fruit salad, lol!

It could even work as a healthy dessert option.

Tips about Creamy Fruit Salad

  • Use whatever fruit you please. Just note the really juicy citrus fruits will prevent you from being able to make this salad to far in advance. They produce a lot of liquid and so it’s best served shortly after it’s made.
  • You can add in 1/3 cup chopped nuts or 1/2 cup toasted coconut or both.
  • You don’t have to use plain Greek yogurt. You can also try vanilla or your favorite flavored yogurt and leave out the vanilla and honey.

  1. I’m putting the ingredients for this salad on my shopping list so I can make it soon. Just one question……is there supposed to be vanilla added if you use the Greek yogurt? In your notes I see that you say to leave out the vanilla and honey if you use vanilla or other flavored yogurt, but I don’t see vanilla listed where Greek yogurt is an ingredient. Not a biggie….just curious. I’d probably use about a teaspoon of vanilla. Sounds YUMMY!!!
