Easy Fresh Fruit Salad is a Healthy Snack

Are you looking for a healthy recipe to bring to a holiday gathering? A fruit platter or fruit salad with this Honey Yogurt Dip is always a hit.

Whether you make this Fresh Fruit Salad for a party or you're making it to serve at home, everyone who tries it sings it's praises.

The wow factor of this simple flavorful fruit salad is the addition of Cotton Candy® grapes. This newer, super sweet variety delivers a very distinctive flavor worthy of its memory-invoking name.

If you haven't taken a bite out of Cotton Candy® grapes, you're missing out. They are lip smacking good!

Another note, in order to get the best presentation that our yummy fruit salad deserves, don't add the strawberries to the salad until right before serving.

If you add the strawberries in earlier, the rest of the fruit will start to absorb the bright red color of the strawberries. To prevent browning, slice and add kiwi to the bowl right before serving, as well.

Ways to Serve More Fruit at Home

If you love serving fresh fruits as much as we do, you might also enjoy our yummy fruit kabobs and our Chocolate Fruit Pizza Recipe.

When you get busy with life, sometimes it's easy to forget about making sure that you get enough fruits and vegetables into your diet. Recipes like fruit salad, and fruit desserts can make it easier to include delicious and nutritious foods back into your diet.

Note: Cotton Candy® grapes are not a genetically modified food. Instead, their wonderful taste is the result of selective natural cross-breeding practices conducted over many years.

Party Recipes

When you have family or friends over for a party, there are always a few essential dishes that should be prepared.

You'll typically see a vegetable plate with a cold ranch dip, chips with a hot dip like Chicken Buffalo Dip, and fruit with a dip.

In the past we've made this yummy Cinnamon Fruit Dip, which everyone really loved. We've also made a strawberry fluff fruit dip, which was quite delicious.

What Kind of Food Do I Serve at a Party

People tend to like to stand around the kitchen snacking at parties and other gatherings, so it is always a great idea to have a simple variety of food on hand that is know to be people-pleasing.

Another idea would be to have a relish tray. This can be as simple or as complex as you'd like it to be. Relish trays could include homemade pickled peppers, olives, pickles and the like.

You could also serve a simple tray with cheese and crackers.

If you're putting a little bit more time into party preparations and want to serve a couple hot appetizers, our Stuffed Mushrooms literally always receive rave reviews. Prosciutto Wrapped Asparagus is another delicious option.

Party Food for Kids

Any party that includes kids should have a fruit platter or a fruit salad.

Think about it. We're busy trying to teach our kids to eat healthy and make healthy food choices. And the amazing thing is, when there is fruit readily available, kids will gravitate towards it because it is sweet and tastes good.
