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.

• 8 cups fresh fruit, cut into bite-sized pieces
• 2-2/3 cups low-fat vanilla yogurt
• 1 teaspoon poppy seeds

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.
