From the ACS cookbook Celebrate! Healthy Entertaining for Any Occasion
The creamy poppy seed dressing in this recipe contains low-fat yogurt, which is an excellent source of B vitamins, protein, and calcium.
Some experts claim that yogurt, when ingested, supplies the intestinal
tract with good bacteria to help keep it in good working order.
Ingredients:
- 8 cups fresh fruit, cut into bite-sized
pieces
- 2-2/3 cups low-fat vanilla yogurt
- 1 teaspoon poppy seeds
Directions
Combine all fruit in a large bowl.
In a smaller bowl, fold poppy seeds into yogurt with a whisk or spatula.
Spoon a portion of fruit salad into individual serving dishes, then pour 2 to 3
tablespoons of yogurt mixture over the fruit—or set out the fruit salad and
yogurt dressing separately and invite your guests to help themselves.
Makes 8 cups. Serves 8. Approximate per serving: 184 calories; 1.5 grams of fat
For this salad we used equal parts peeled peaches and oranges, chunks of pineapple,
grapes, and berries. Use any fruit you like.
