Tips:

  • For a creamier dressing, use full-fat yogurt.
  • If you don't have mayonnaise, you can use an equal amount of sour cream or Greek yogurt.
  • For a sweeter dressing, add a tablespoon of honey or maple syrup.
  • If you want a more savory dressing, add a teaspoon of Dijon mustard or garlic powder.
  • Be sure to drain the fruit well before adding it to the salad, or it will water down the dressing.
  • If you're using fresh fruit, be sure to wash it thoroughly before cutting it up.
  • For a more colorful salad, use a variety of fruits, such as strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and grapes.
  • Serve the salad immediately, or chill it for later.
