Need a fruit salad that’s both wholesome and creamy without being too heavy? Fruit salad with yogurt is the answer. It’s light, tangy, and a little bit indulgent—great for breakfast, brunch, or a healthy snack. You’ll love how it comes together in minutes with ingredients you probably already have.
Ingredients
– 2 ripe bananas, sliced
– 1 cup mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
– 2 kiwis, peeled and sliced
– 1 cup thick Greek yogurt
– Fresh mint sprigs for garnish
Instructions
Step 1
Prepare your fruits. Slice the bananas into thin rounds, halve or quarter the strawberries if they are large, and slice the kiwis.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced bananas, mixed berries, and kiwi slices.
Step 3
Add the thick Greek yogurt into the bowl with the fruits. Gently toss everything together until all fruits are well-coated with yogurt.
Step 4
Transfer the fruit salad into a glass bowl for serving. This makes it visually appealing and showcases all those beautiful colors.
Step 5
Garnish with fresh mint sprigs for an extra pop of color and flavor. Serve immediately with a silver spoon for that elegant touch.
Ways to Improve It
1. Drizzle some honey or maple syrup over the top for added sweetness.
2. Sprinkle some chia seeds or flax seeds for an extra nutritional boost.
3. Add a handful of granola for crunch.
4. Include some nuts like almonds or walnuts for texture contrast.
5. Squeeze a bit of lime juice over the salad for a refreshing tang.
What to Serve With It
This fruit salad pairs beautifully with light breakfast dishes like scrambled eggs or avocado toast. For dessert occasions, consider serving it alongside a slice of pound cake or some shortbread cookies to complement the creamy yogurt.
Substitutions
1. Use coconut yogurt instead of Greek yogurt for a dairy-free option.
2. Swap out kiwi with mango if you prefer something sweeter.
3. Replace mixed berries with seasonal fruits like peaches or cherries.
Recipe Variations
1. Add a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg to give it a warm spice note.
2. Mix in some pomegranate seeds for an extra burst of flavor and color.
3. Use flavored Greek yogurt like vanilla or honey to change up the taste profile.
4. Incorporate tropical fruits like pineapple or papaya for an exotic twist.
5. Create individual servings in small glass cups for a more personalized presentation at gatherings.
