Fruit Salad, request

    Hi Everyone!



        Thank you for reaching out to me for "cost less" recipes.  I'm so happy to share this fruit salad recipe.  This is great for the warm weather approaching us.

The emphasis for this recipe will be the apples.  This is what gives the salad crunch and flavor! Choose your apples wisely!  Remember, there are so many varieties out there.  (leaving the peel on, not only adds color, but it adds fiber as well!)




  • 3 apples, cored and cubed
  • 1/4 lb. seedless grapes, washed and removed from stems
  • 1 banana, peeled and thinly sliced
  • 1 8-oz. can pineapple chunks canned in juice, drained
  • 1/4 cup chopped walnuts
  • 1 tsp. honey
  • 1-1/2 cups low-fat vanilla yogurt

In small bowl, whisk together honey and yogurt. Place rest of ingredients in large bowl, pour yogurt mixture over all, and toss to mix well. You can serve it immediately, or cover and let stand for 20 minutes in refrigerator before serving. You can also  toss a small amount of trail mix over the top.  I love to eat this right before a hike or long bike ride!
