Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces green apples
- 1 piece pear
- 1.5 cups seedless red grapes
- 1 cup blueberries
- 1 piece lemon
- 1 cup natural unsweetened yogurt
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 2 tablespoons fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Wash all the fruits thoroughly under running water and pat them dry with a clean towel.
Core the green apples and pear, then cut them into bite-sized cubes. Leave the skin on for added texture and color.
Slice the seedless red grapes in half to make them easier to eat.
Zest the lemon to gather about 1 teaspoon of zest, then cut the lemon in half and juice it, removing any seeds.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the apple, pear, grapes, and blueberries.
In a small bowl, whisk together the yogurt, honey, ground cardamom, lemon zest, and 2 tablespoons of lemon juice until smooth and creamy.
Pour the yogurt dressing over the fruit mixture and gently toss until all the fruit is evenly coated.
Transfer the fruit salad to a serving dish or individual bowls. Garnish with chopped mint leaves, if desired.
Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for 15–20 minutes before serving for a cooler, more refreshing experience.
