Ingredients

Scale

Fruits

  • 2 apples, cored and diced
  • 6 mandarins, peeled and segmented
  • 2 bananas, peeled and sliced
  • 5 kiwis, peeled and diced
  • 1 cup pomegranate arils (seeds)

Dressing

  • ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon poppy seeds
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons orange juice

Instructions

  1. Prepare the fruit: Add the diced apples, segmented mandarins, sliced bananas, diced kiwis, and pomegranate arils into a large mixing bowl.
  2. Make the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the plain Greek yogurt, poppy seeds, honey, and orange juice until smooth and well combined.
  3. Combine the salad: Pour the yogurt dressing over the mixed fruits in the large bowl. Gently toss the fruit and dressing together to ensure all pieces are evenly coated without bruising the fruit.
  4. Serve or store: Serve the fruit salad immediately or cover and refrigerate. The salad will stay fresh for up to 24 hours in the refrigerator.

Notes

  • You can substitute dairy Greek yogurt with a non-dairy alternative for a dairy-free version; note that you may need to adjust the honey amount depending on the sweetness of the non-dairy yogurt.
  • For best texture, add bananas just before serving to prevent browning.
  • This fruit salad is best consumed within 24 hours to enjoy maximum freshness and flavor.
