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!

I’ve been making this for years. It’s a family favorite. I omit the lemon juice and coconut. Also, I use fruit cocktail, no sugar added, as my base. I add a sliced banana. And I use sour cream or Greek yogurt, depending on what I have on hand. It is amazing with anything you throw in there! 🙂
Can I use relular yogurt instead of Greek?
Sure, you can use regular yogurt 🙂
I would like to make this for our work Thanksgiving pot luck. I noticed it says 4 servings, but if it is served with several other sides do you think this would be enough? Or would I need to double. There are probably 8-10 people.
Hi Rebecca, if you’re having a bunch of other sides I bet this is enough! Happy Thanksgiving!
very colorful salad.. yum!
Yum this looks delicious! Good thing I have all the ingredients on hand so I can make the recipe.
Yay! It’s always nice to already have what you need! Hope you like it!
When i make this I put my sliced apple in the pineapple jucie and they don’t turn brown!
YUM! Pinned!
This looks so delicious! I’ve actually made 5 cup fruit salad with sour cream. I thought it’d be so weird but it was so good!
My family uses sour cream and we love it that way. It is now on its 4th generation in our family for must have at Christmas and Easter
IN THE SOUTH THEY ADD ONE TEASPOON BROWN SUGAR TO THE SOUR CREAM…….AWESOME!!!!!
This is such a pretty salad! Pinning!
I LOVE fruit salad, although my kids aren’t the biggest fans of it, which is strange because actually are great fruit eaters. I will have to try it with the marshmallows and see if I can convert some of them.
