Fruit Salad with Honey-Yogurt Dressing
It's potluck week at IHCC! So, another month is ending soon. Gasp! This round, I make a bowl of nutritious fruit salad because I just bought some fruits. I don't usually stock up fruits in my fridge because my family is not a big fan of fruits, unfortunately.
Hmmm, that doesn't sound like a good excuse. Well, it's kinda like retail therapy and I need colors to brighten up my somewhat sombre mood. On top of that, there are still a lot of Mandarin oranges from Chinese New Year in my fridge. Haha.

Recipe inspired by Ellie's 'Fruit Salad with Honey-Lime Dressing' from her book 'So Easy' or here.
Ingredients:
(Serves 1)
1 cup purple dragon fruit (pitaya) cubes
1 fresh Mandarin orange, peeled, separated into segments
1/2 cup fresh strawberry, halved
1/4 cup pomegranate seeds
1/4 cup Greek yogurt + 1 tablespoon raw honey
A handful butter-caramel popcorn (optional)
How to:
Make sure all fruits are chilled in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before tossing them together in a bowl. Drizzle with yogurt-honey dressing. Garnish with popcorn for extra crunch and texture.

Delightful to the eye and palate!
ReplyDeleteThanks Emily!
DeleteWe're not big fruit eaters, either. I love them when I have them, they're just not a first choice. So I turn to smoothies and salads to make sure I get at least the minimum daily amount. Love this salad and would eat it for dessert!
ReplyDeleteI make this a few times to fill up my fruits quota too. :D
DeleteThis colorful bowl of fruits would surely brighten my day. I would have one early in the morning. So the rest of the day would be as cheerful as the fruit bowl.
