Autumn Harvest Fruit Salad

🍁 Instructions

1. Prep the Fruit

  • Dice apples and pears (leave the peel on for color).
  • Toss with lemon juice.
  • Add grapes, pomegranate seeds, mandarin oranges, dried cranberries, and nuts to a large bowl.

2. Make the Dressing

In a separate small bowl, whisk together:

  • Yogurt
  • Maple syrup
  • Brown sugar
  • Vanilla
  • Cinnamon
  • Nutmeg (optional)

The dressing should be creamy, sweet, and lightly spiced.


3. Combine

  • Pour the dressing over the fruit.
  • Gently fold to coat everything evenly.
  • Chill at least 30 minutes before serving for the flavors to develop.

🍂 Optional Add-Ins

  • Sliced bananas (add right before serving)
  • Diced persimmons
  • Fresh figs
  • Toasted coconut
  • Mini marshmallows (for a dessert-style side)

🍎 Serving Tips
