Ingredients

Berries – A mix of strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries adds natural sweetness and color.

Grapes – Use red or green grapes, sliced if you prefer smaller bites.

Pomegranate – Packaged pomegranate arils save time and reduce mess.

Banana – Choose a ripe banana for extra sweetness; dice just before serving to avoid browning.

Greek yogurt – Plain Greek yogurt works best for a thick, creamy dressing. Plain non-Greek yogurt will also work.

Honey – Start with 1 tablespoon and adjust to taste to lightly sweeten the yogurt.

Add-ins – Chopped walnuts and chia seeds add crunch and texture. You can substitute pecans, almonds, coconut flakes, or hemp seeds.

Instructions

Step 1: Make the dressing. In a large bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, honey, and lemon juice until smooth.

Step 2: Prepare the fruit. Chop the strawberries, slice the grapes, dice the banana, and combine the berries and pomegranate arils. Add all the fruit to the bowl with the dressing and toss gently to coat.

Step 3: Add texture. Stir in the chopped walnuts and chia seeds (or your chosen crunchy add-ins). Refrigerate until ready to serve for best texture and flavor.

Variations + FAQs

Fruit: Substitute or add apples, oranges, fresh pineapple, kiwi, or mango for variety and seasonal flair.

Yogurt: Use vanilla yogurt for a sweeter dressing, or choose a dairy-free yogurt for a vegan alternative.

Sweetener: Honey works beautifully with yogurt, but maple syrup or agave are fine substitutes.

Can this be made ahead of time?

For best texture, avoid making the salad too far in advance; some fruits can become soft. Preparing it the morning of serving is ideal, or mix shortly before serving when possible.

Storage

Refrigerator: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Note that softer fruits like banana will darken sooner, so you may want to add them just before serving if storing long-term.
