Easter Fruit Salad (Honey Vanilla Yogurt!)
8 servings
Looking for a fruit salad for your Easter feast? This is it! This crowd-pleasing, easter fruit salad is topped with honey vanilla yogurt! It is special and beautiful, but so easy-to-make.
Ingredients
FOR THE FRUIT SALAD
- 1 cup blueberries
- 1 cup raspberries
- 2 cups strawberries sliced
- 1 large apple diced
- 1-2 cups green grapes halved
- 1 11-ounce can mandarin oranges, drained
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
FOR THE HONEY MASCARPONE
- 8 ounces mascarpone cheese softened
- 1 cup plain yogurt full-fat is preferable
- ¼ cup honey
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Combine all the fruit in a serving bowl. Toss with the lemon juice and gently mix.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the mascarpone cheese, yogurt, honey, lemon juice and vanilla extract.
- Just before serving, gently toss the fruit with honey mascarpone. Alternatively you can serve the fruit individually in bowls/plates and dollop with a little of the mascarpone.
- Enjoy!
Notes
RECIPE NOTES
- This salad turns out best if you cut the fruit right before serving, or a few hours in advance. If you want to save time and cut the fruit the night before, store the fruit in separate containers to preserve the fruit. Avoid cutting apples until right before.
- Feel free to switch up the fruits in this recipe, but keep in mind, bananas can quickly turn brown and mushy, so I don't recommend adding them to fruit salad.
- I like to cut the grapes in half for better ratios. It makes them easier to eat, too!
- Rather than serving the fruit in a large bowl, you could make individual portions in ramekins and top with mascarpone whip.
