RECIPE BY Cooking Light

Honey-sweetened yogurt spooned over fresh fruit is a refreshing addition to any meal but especially brunch. You can prepare and refrigerate the yogurt sauce up to a day in advance. You can also combine and refrigerate the fruit mixture (except the banana) up to three hours ahead; stir in the banana just before serving to prevent discoloring.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup vanilla low-fat yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons grated lime rind
  • 3 cups cubed pineapple (about 1 medium)
  • 1 1/2 cups chopped Braeburn apple (about 1 large)
  • 1 cup orange sections (about 2 oranges)
  • 1 cup chopped peeled kiwi (about 2 large)
  • 1/3 cup flaked sweetened coconut
  • 1 medium banana, sliced
  • 1/4 cup slivered almonds, toasted

I loved the sauce, but should have read the reviews first and used different fruit. I will definitly be making this again, with different fruits than what is in the recipe.

Easy, refreshing, well-balanced tartness to sweetness, and the coconut and toasted almonds add great flavor notes with just the right amount of crunch and texture.

I served this to a large group and didn't have time or bowls to serve it up individually. I just mixed the yogurt mixture in with all the fruit right before serving. Everyone loved it! I used Greed style yogurt which gives it a different, more tangy flavor.

This honey-yogurt sauce works on just about any combination of fruit that you choose. Doesn't get much easier than three ingredients. A definite keeper.

I took this to a brunch and everyone loved it. The fruits in this salad really mix well. I was not sure if everyone would want coconut flakes and the almond slivers so I left them in respective bowls so people could add their own toppings.

I serve this sauce every time I make a fruit salad. Whoever tastes it insists on getting a copy of the recipe; I'm almost embarrassed to admit that it uses just three ingredients and takes five minutes to prepare. 'Nuff said.

With this wonderful, light sauce, I used cantaloupe, honeydew, strawberries, blueberries and grapes. It was a refreshing addition to a Christmas brunch!
