Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium Red apples
- 2 large Bananas
- 1.5 cups Seedless grapes
- 1 cup Pineapple chunks (fresh or canned, drained)
- 0.25 cup Orange juice
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 0.5 cup Vanilla yogurt
- 0.25 cup Chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
- 0.25 cup Pitted cherries or maraschino cherries (optional)
- 2 sprigs Fresh mint (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
Wash all fresh fruits thoroughly before cutting.
Core and dice the red apples into bite-sized pieces. Leave the peel on for added color and nutrition.
Peel and slice the bananas into rounds, approximately 1/4-inch thick.
Halve the seedless grapes, or leave them whole if preferred.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced apples, sliced bananas, grape halves, and pineapple chunks.
In a small bowl, whisk together the orange juice, honey, and vanilla yogurt until smooth to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the fruit mixture and gently toss to coat all the pieces evenly without breaking or mashing them.
If desired, fold in the chopped pecans or walnuts and pitted cherries for extra texture and flavor.
Refrigerate for 10-15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the salad to chill slightly.
Serve in individual bowls or a decorative serving dish. Garnish with fresh mint sprigs for a touch of elegance if preferred.
