Fresh Grilled Fruit Salad with Honey Yogurt Dressing
Servings 4
Ingredients
- 4 slices fresh pineapple sliced thick
- 1 mango peeled, pitted and sliced
- 2 apples sliced thick
- 6 ounces non-fat plain vanilla yogurt
- 1 ½ tsp honey
- 2 tsp lime juice
- 4 sprigs mint
- ⅓ cup chopped walnuts
Instructions
- Slice fruit right before grilling so apples don't brown.
- Mix together yogurt, honey and lime juice. Refrigerate until ready to plate.
- Grill fruit on both sides until you see grill marks - 4 to 5 minutes
- Place grilled fruit on 4 dinner plates. Put a dollop of dressing on the side and place mint on top of the dressing.
- Sprinkle walnuts on the fruit and serve immediately.
Notes
If you want to make this a more substantial salad, take a head of romaine, slice it in fourths lengthwise and spray it with olive oil. Grill the romaine until it is slightly charred. Place fruit and dressing on top.
Easy, low fat, sweet, and tasty – all of those words put together don’t do this simple dessert justice! Give it a try and let us know what you think …
