This colorful, sprightly fruit salad can serve as a simple side dish, or if you family is health-conscious, a light and wholesome dessert. It takes advantage of strawberries, plus fresh pineapple chunks and green grapes.
Usually, the pineapple and yogurt are sweet enough that the salad doesn’t require additional sugar. However, if you wish, stir in a teaspoon or two of clover honey after the strawberries are added. (For another equally healthful and easy fruit dish check out my microwave “baked” apples.)
Tip: To shorten preparation time, purchase the pineapple chunks and strawberries from a salad bar.
