Easy Fruit Salad Recipe

This Fruit Salad is just the thing to give you a light, refreshing boost!  With a honey lime dressing and vanilla yogurt, grapes, apples, pomegranate, strawberries and raspberries, this salad is refreshing and a great alternative to heavy desserts.

Fruit Salad is so versatile, and with the option to change up dressings and different fruits, it’s easy to please everyone. It’s nice to have an alternative to the fruit salads that are laden with heavy whipping cream and sugar. Not that I don’t love that variety because you know I do, but I like to have a lighter option available for anyone who wants it.

Wondering if you have to hit the store? Here’s the list of items you’ll need to make this recipe. For specific amounts, please refer to the printable recipe card at the bottom of the post.

• Honey – Sweetens the dressing naturally and adds a bit of stickiness to coat the fruit.
• Lime Juice – Brings tartness and keeps the apples from browning.
• Lime Zest – Adds a punch of citrus aroma and flavor that cuts through the sweetness.
• Vanilla Yogurt – Creamy, lightly sweet, and gives the dressing body. Greek or regular both work.
• Apples – Crisp and juicy. Go with a sweet-tart variety like Honeycrisp or Fuji.
• Grapes – Use seedless red or green grapes. Halve them if they’re large.
• Strawberries – Fresh and sliced. Add right before serving if they’re extra ripe.
