Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 teaspoon Poppy seeds
- 2 cups Strawberries (hulled and sliced)
- 1 cup Blueberries
- 1 cup Pineapple (diced, fresh or canned and drained)
- 1 cup Green grapes (halved)
- 2 medium Bananas (sliced)
- 1 cup Mandarin oranges (canned, drained)
Instructions
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, honey, lemon juice, and poppy seeds until smooth and well combined. Set the dressing aside.
Prepare the fruit: hull and slice the strawberries, halve the grapes, dice the pineapple, and slice the bananas. If using canned mandarin oranges, drain them well.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the strawberries, blueberries, pineapple, green grapes, bananas, and mandarin oranges.
Pour the poppy seed dressing over the fruit and gently toss to coat all the fruit evenly. Be careful not to mash the fruit.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Gently toss the salad one more time before serving to redistribute the dressing.
Serve chilled as a side dish or a light dessert. Enjoy!
