Salads are not just for summer time!
This fall fruit salad is full of fresh flavors and a perfect way to incorporate fruit into your daily diet. It is also gluten free!
I like this salad because since it is made with a Greek yogurt dressing you are getting a good source of protein and calcium in as well.
I added the pecans for an additional crunch but also because they contain a trace mineral – Copper – which is used by the body for energy and nervous system function.
Often times when the weather gets cooler, we easily forget about eating fruits because they seem like a perfect snack when it is hot outside.
This salad helps us sneak in those seasonal fruits during the Fall & Winter months!
This salad is totally customizable but I included a variety of seasonal fruits like pears, Granny Smith apples, blood oranges and pomegranate arils!

Fruit Salad with Greek Yogurt Dressing
Fall Fruit Salad is healthy, packed with vitamins and is a beautiful and vibrant dish to add to the holiday menu for Thanksgiving, Christmas or New Years!
Combine yogurt, honey, lemon zest, lemon juice, vanilla, honey and spices in a small bowl and set side.
In a large bowl, gently toss together the cut up fruit slices. If preparing salad ahead of time, be sure to squeeze a little extra lemon juice on the fruit so it does not turn brown. Also – top with dressing only right before serving fruit salad. Sprinkle with extra cinnamon and pecans before serving too! YUM! Enjoy!
Notes
May use mandarin oranges in place of blood orange or naval orange.Other fruit ideas to add or sub into this salad: persimmons, dried cranberries, bananas, and grapes.

OMG! I am gonna make this salad for Christmas. Your Greek yogurt dressing sounds universal enough to use for other kinds of salads as well. Thanks for sharing.
Great fruit salad dressing! I had to use what I had just apples and grapes…didn’t have persimmons 🙁 I used sunflowers instead and goat yogurt. I will use this again thank you…it was a hit at our holiday party!
This fruit salad looks refreshing and satisfying and I love the Greek yogurt dressing! I’ve only tried persimmons a couple of times but you’ve inspired me to try them again!
