Maple Yogurt Fresh Fruit Salad

Who doesn't like fresh fruit during the summer? We eat it every day around here. As a matter of fact, it's the kids' favorite snack....with a side of string cheese.

Aside from eating it plain, fruit salad is another great way to add a low calorie dessert or snack to your day.

When I shop for fruits, I try to buy what's on sale each week. I put this salad together based on the fruits I had bought earlier in the day.

However, you could use pretty much any variety of fruit you like for this quick and easy salad.

Maple Yogurt Fresh Fruit Salad

Ingredients:

~Fruit~

• 3 peaches, sliced
• 1 mango, sliced
• 1 banana, sliced
• 1 cup strawberries, sliced
• 1 cup grapes

~Glaze~

• 3 tbsp plain yogurt (I used Fage Greek Yogurt)
• 1 tbsp Maple syrup
• 1 tbsp fresh squeezed orange juice
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Directions:

1. Combine fruits in serving bowl.
2. In a small bowl, mix glaze ingredients.
3. Pour glaze over fruit and toss to coat.
4. Serve immediately.

Yield : 6 servings

You'll want to wait until you're ready to serve this salad before pouring the glaze over the fruit. It has a tendency to get a little soggy after sitting mixed together in the refrigerator.

Of course, it still tastes good!
