Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups pineapple chunks (fresh or canned, drained)
- 1 cup seedless grapes (halved, if large)
- 2 medium sliced bananas
- 1.5 cups sliced strawberries
- 1 cup mandarin oranges (canned, drained, or fresh segments)
- 0.5 cup pomegranate seeds
- 1 cup egg nog (store-bought or homemade)
- 0.5 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.5 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine pineapple chunks, grapes, banana slices, strawberries, mandarin oranges, and pomegranate seeds. Gently toss the fruits to mix.
In a separate smaller bowl, whisk together the eggnog, Greek yogurt, honey, vanilla extract, and ground nutmeg until smooth and well combined.
Pour the eggnog dressing over the mixed fruits in the large bowl.
Gently toss the fruits to evenly coat them in the dressing. Be careful not to mash the softer fruits like bananas and strawberries.
If desired, sprinkle chopped pecans or walnuts over the salad for added crunch and texture.
Refrigerate the salad for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve chilled in individual bowls or on a platter as a refreshing side or dessert.
