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!

Hands down best fruit salad ever! Yay!
This is a winner at my house! Easily tossed together and modifiable for the fruits your family likes, though I stick with the recipe as outline. I used my chopper to get many of the ingredients the same size. Thanks Lauren!
does it still taste good without coconut
Yes, it would still be delicious!
I make this fruit using the following:
2 cups of mini marshmallows . The colored ones.
1 cup crushed pineapple drained
1 cup mandarin oranges drained
1 cup sour cream
1 cup fresh blue berries
1 cup cottage cheese
Fold all together until mix well.
Refrigerate at least 8- hours.
IN THE SOUTH THEY ADD ONE TEASPOON BROWN SUGAR TO THE SOUR CREAM…….AWESOME!!!!!
Morning starts with fruit salad always gives me extra energy to work hard. So thanks for sharing this recipe
You didn’t mention draining the canned fruit. Just thinking about it, I would. But I have no
idea if that is correct. What do you do?
Hi Kathleen. Yes, be sure to drain any of the canned fruit!
