Honey-Vanilla Yogurt Fruit Salad

Honey-Vanilla Yogurt Fruit Salad

Yield: 6 Servings
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 cups plain yogurt, not fat-free; see note
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 large apple, cored and small diced
  • 1 cup (about 170 g) blueberries
  • 1 cup (about 170 g) raspberries
  • 2 cups (about 340 g) strawberries, hulled and cut in half or diced
  • 1-2 cups (170 to 340 g) green grapes, cut in half
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Instructions 

  • Whisk together the yogurt, honey and vanilla extract. Set aside.
  • Combine all the fruit in a serving bowl. Toss with lemon juice and gently mix.
  • Serve fruit individually in bowls/plates and dollop with a spoonful (or two!) of yogurt. Or, if you don't anticipate leftovers, toss the fruit and yogurt together for a creamy mishmash of fruit salad.

Notes

Texture: my main advice for this recipe is to choose a yogurt with a really creamy texture. Some fat-free or lowfat yogurts have a gritty texture, which is no good here. We want creamy! Extra creamy. 
Yogurt: it probably goes without saying, but if you have a favorite already-flavored storebought honey vanilla yogurt (thinking of the Greek God's brand, which is good and super creamy + decadent, but sometimes a little pricey), it could easily sub for the plain yogurt mixture in the recipe. The great thing about whipping it up yourself (plain yogurt + honey + vanilla) is you can control all those elements for the perfect flavor combo.
Fruit: also, the fruit here is adaptable - just avoid really juicy fruits which will water down the yogurt.
