This creamy fruit salad recipe, using Greek yogurt, is sweet and creamy without the added calories!

Did you know that a traditional “5-cup fruit salad” uses sour cream as the sauce? I'm sorry, but does anyone else cringe at that thought? Sour cream…really?  This fruit salad recipe has the same delicious creamy flavor, but uses Greek yogurt instead.

It's creamy and sweet and absolutly delicious! Plus it takes all of 10 minutes to throw together. It's the perfect side for family gatherings, holidays, or parties where you want something fun and something everyone will love!

The ingredients for this Creamy Fruit Salad are super simple, but put them all together and this little salad is fabulous! It's sweet and refreshing, without the added calories.

Plus it has mini marshmallows in it, and who can say “no” to mini marshmallows?! This yummy side dish will definitely be making in appearance on our Thanksgiving table!

After a day or so of sitting in the fridge, liquid from the fruit may pool at the bottom. If eating the leftovers, I like to gently pour some of this off before eating.

This is such a wonderful, refreshing, healthy summer or anytime fruit salad! I used Greek honey vanilla yogurt and it was amazing! If you can’t find honey vanilla yogurt you can use Greek vanilla and mix with a little honey before you add to fruit.I also mix apples Granny smith apples give it some tartness and Cosmic Crisp adds just a bit of sweetness for balance. I like to use crisper apples so they dont get mushy or fall apart when mixing. Last but not least some pecan bits gave it that nutty crunch YUM! A friend of mine is lactose intolerant and uses the Greek coconut vanilla yogurt mixed with a bit of honey and its also amazing. This is a family favorite I make all the time!

I made this for Easter today. I tweaked a bit, left out the apples, added cherries, and used lemon greek yogurt. Delicious!
