Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups (halved or quartered) Strawberries
- 1 cup Blueberries
- 3 pieces (peeled and sliced) Kiwi
- 2 cups (cubed) Pineapple
- 1 cup (halved) Green grapes
- 4 oz (softened) Cream cheese
- 0.5 cup Plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tbsp Honey
- 1 tbsp Fresh lemon juice
- 1 tbsp Poppy seeds
Instructions
Prepare the fruits: Wash and dry all the fruits. Slice the strawberries in halves or quarters, peel and slice the kiwi, cut the pineapple into cubes, and halve the green grapes.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the prepared strawberries, blueberries, kiwi, pineapple, and green grapes.
In a medium bowl, prepare the dressing: Beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy using a hand mixer or a whisk.
Add the Greek yogurt, honey, fresh lemon juice, and poppy seeds to the cream cheese. Mix until the dressing is smooth and well combined.
Pour the cream cheese poppy seed dressing over the mixed fruits in the large bowl.
Gently toss the fruits and dressing together using a large spoon or spatula until the fruits are evenly coated.
Chill the fruit salad in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes before serving, if desired. This helps meld the flavors together.
Serve the fruit salad cold. Optionally, garnish with a sprinkle of additional poppy seeds or a few mint leaves for a fresh touch.
