Instructions

Make the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the yogurt, honey, juice of 1/2 of a lemon, and vanilla until smooth. Taste and adjust the sweetness to your liking. Set aside.
Prep the fruit: Make sure all fruit is completely dry to prevent watering down the salad. Add the fruit to a large bowl and gently toss to combine.
Assemble the salad:
Option 1: Spoon fruit into individual bowls and top with a generous spoonful of yogurt.
Option 2: If serving all at once, mix the yogurt dressing into the fruit for a fully coated salad. (If you toss it all together, you'll want to eat it the same day)
Optional: Add granola or something crunchy just before serving.

Notes

Note 1: I swear by Greek God’s Honey Vanilla Yogurt (not sponsored)—it’s seriously so good. Whatever brand you use, just make sure it’s thick and creamy. Skip watery or low-fat versions since they can taste grainy.

Note 2: The amount of honey you’ll want depends on the yogurt and fruit you’re using. Whisk up the dressing, then taste it with a few pieces of fruit to decide if you need more sweetness.

Fruit swaps: Use what you have, but skip super juicy fruits like watermelon that water things down. If you want this to last a few days in the fridge, swap the apple for 1 cup of raspberries. Use fresh (not overripe) fruit for the best texture.

Storage: Store the fruit and yogurt dressing separately in the fridge and mix just before serving. If already combined, eat within 1 day. Keep granola or nuts separate so they stay crunchy.
