This says fall fruit salad.. but it's great for that summer family BBQ, or as a refreshing snack/brunch. It lends itself well to whatever fruits you enjoy. Try some mango, or kiwi....whatever... Ingredients:
6 bananas |
6 apples (3 red - 3 green) i recommend at least one sweet and one tart. |
1 fresh pineapple |
2 oranges (or more) preferably seedless and sweet |
1 lb seedless grapes - i use 1/2 red and 1/2 white |
2 tbsp minced fresh tarragon leaves |
1 tspn minced fresh mint leaves |
optional |
1/2 cup chopped walnuts |
2 kiwi |
1 mango |
1 whatever the heck you like |
dressing |
1-1/2 tbsp flour |
1/2 cup sugar |
1/2 cup water |
1/4 cup lemon juice |
1/4 cup pineapple juice |
juice of 1 orange (note: i used 1/2 cup of pineapple/orange juice for the last two ingredients). |
1 cup low fat plain or vanilla yogurt |

1. Dressing: (The night before)
2. In a medium saucepan, mix the dressing ingredients well.
3. Cook dressing ingredients over med-low or medium heat until the sauce thickens.
