FRESH FRUIT SALAD

Posted by Carole-Anne on February 23, 2008

Healthy Recipes loves our fruit salads.  We are so fortunate to live in a part of the world where we had access to beautiful fruit of all kinds; whatever is not grown in this beautiful Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, is imported.  So, we have all the healthy goods at our fingertips – no excuse to be heavy. 

This salad is particularly fancy, as it has a sparkle to it.

INGREDIENTS:

4 cups fresh strawberries halved

2 cups fresh blueberries

2 – 3 kiwi, peeled and sliced

2 bananas, sliced (put aside in bowl with lemon juice coating, to keep from turning brown)

1 cup seedless green and 1 cup seedless red grapes 

2 tsp fresh lemon juice

1 small bottle Ginger Ale

2 tsp lemon juice

1 8-ounce container plain or vanilla fat free yogurt

NOW FOLLOW ME:

In large dressy glass salad bowl, combine strawberries, bananas coated in lemon juice, blueberries, kiwi, red and green seedless grapes.  Mix salad by tossing gently.

In a small bowl, combine yogurt, lemon juice, vanilla and mix well.  Set aside.

When ready to serve, pour Ginger Ale over fruit in large fancy bowl. 

When serving each bowl, top with a dollop of the yogurt mixture.  This is the tastiest fruit salad with a zing to it.

Healthy Recipes gives a thumbs up!  This is a Traditional Recipe at our house, for birthdays, parties etc.

Healthy Recipe serves 8 to 10 people.
