Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

1 (20 ounce) can pineapple tidbits (drained well)
1 (11 ounce) can mandarin oranges (drained well)
1 cup green grapes (halved)
1 cup red grapes (halved)
1 cup strawberries (sliced)
1 cup blueberries
1 cup blackberries
2 bananas (sliced)
2 (5.3 ounce) containers vanilla Greek yogurt

Steps:

In a large bowl, mix all fruit together.
Gently fold yogurt into fruit.
Serve.
You can also make this a couple hours before and keep in the fridge, but I found that it was pretty watery the next day from all the fruit juices.

Tips:

Choose fresh, ripe fruits for the best flavor and texture. Local, seasonal fruits are ideal.
If you're using a mix of fruits, try to include a variety of colors and textures for a visually appealing salad.
For a sweeter salad, use more fruits that are naturally sweet, such as berries, bananas, and mangoes.
For a tangier salad, use more fruits that are acidic, such as citrus fruits, pineapple, and kiwi.
If you're using a yogurt that is plain or unsweetened, you may want to add a little honey or maple syrup to taste.
For a thicker, creamier salad, use Greek yogurt or skyr.
For a lighter, more refreshing salad, use regular yogurt.
Top the salad with chopped nuts, seeds, or granola for added texture and flavor.
Serve the salad immediately or chill it for a few hours before serving.

Greek yogurt fruit salad is a delicious, healthy, and refreshing snack or breakfast option. It's also a great way to use up any leftover fruit you have on hand.
