If you want to take something to your next picnic or party that will please just about everyone, make this fresh fruit salad recipe! Fruit salads are a great choice because they are super healthy and loaded with Vitamin C and plenty of fiber.
The standout “star” in this 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.
Fruit Salad Tips – For the best presentation, do not add the strawberries to the salad until right before serving. Otherwise, the lighter-colored fruits will absorb their bright red color. To prevent browning, slice and add kiwi to the bowl right before serving, as well.
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.
This recipe for fruit salad serves about 6 and can be easily doubled or tripled to serve a larger crowd.
Delicious Yogurt Dip:
1 cup plain, full-fat Greek yogurt
2 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
