Easy Layered Fruit Salad with Yogurt Dressing Recipe
This layered fruit salad combines fresh cantaloupe, crisp apples, mandarin oranges, and grapes with a sweet vanilla yogurt dressing and a sprinkle of granola on top. It comes together in fifteen minutes with no cooking required, and it's always a hit at potlucks, brunches, and family dinners.
Equipment
Ingredients
- ½ medium cantaloupe cut into cubes
- 1 large Granny Smith apple chopped
- 1 large Honeycrisp apple chopped
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 can mandarin oranges well drained
- 1 bunch purple grapes halved or whole per your preference
- 1 handful pecans chopped, substitute walnuts or almonds
- 1 handful mini marshmallows
- 2 cups vanilla Greek yogurt
- ½ cup Granola our favorite is Bear Naked Fit Vanilla Almond Crunch but you choose whatever you like
Instructions
- Core and chop the apples. Toss the chopped apple in a tablespoon or two of lemon juice or lemon-lime pop to prevent browning. If you're in a pinch, orange juice will work, too. Place the chopped apples in the bottom of a trifle bowl.
- Add the rest of the fruit, the nuts, and the marshmallows, one kind at a time, keeping it in even layers.
- When you get to the top, spoon yogurt over the whole thing. It will fall down into the crannies and crevices, and it will be beautiful.
- To serve, sprinkle the top with granola. If you add the granola too soon, it will get soggy.
Notes
If you don't have a trifle bowl (or a similar tall glass bowl), you could just mix everything together. It tastes the same, but it's not as pretty.
We love to add different kinds of melon - whatever we can find at the grocery store. Strawberries or blueberries add some color. Kiwi and pineapple add a tartness. Peaches are wonderful when they're in season. Are you getting the idea? You can add as much or as little as you like.
