{soups-salads-and-salad-dressings} Fresh Fruit Bowl + Linda's Fruit Topping

 

While this is a Taste of Home Recipe, while I was in NC, Linda served us fresh fruit salad with no sugar, and this to-die-for topping.  We couldn’t get enough.  I’ve made it twice since I’ve been home and next time instead of honey, I’m going to try some real maple syrup!  Drool worthy!  LOL

Fresh Fruit Bowl

The glorious colors used here make this a great summer salad. Slightly sweet and chilled, it makes a nice accompaniment to a grilled entree. —Marlon Kirst, Troy, Michigan

Linda’s Fruit Dip/Topping

For every one cup of plain Greek Yogurt, add

1 Tbsp. packed brown sugar

1 Tbsp. honey.

 

Mix well and serve with fruit.  This stuff is GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!

The yogurt doesn’t have to be a fancy brand.  I bought mine at Aldi’s.

 

 

 

As you waste your breath complaining about life, someone out there is breathing their last.

Appreciate what you have.

Be thankful and stop complaining.

Live more, complain less.

Have more smiles, less stress.
