For the Fruit

  • 1 cup Pineapple Chunks Adds tropical flavor and moisture; canned is easier, but fresh can be used for better taste.

Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Creamy Fruit Salad Recipe
  1. Start by thoroughly washing and drying all fruits to ensure a fresh and crisp outcome in your creamy fruit salad.
  2. Next, take your medium apple and strawberries, and cut them into bite-sized chunks. Slice your grapes in half for increased sweetness and easier eating.
  3. Gather all your prepared fruits—including blueberries and pineapple chunks—in a large glass bowl. Gently toss them together using a spatula or wooden spoon.
  4. Add the creamy Greek yogurt to your fruit mixture in the bowl. Carefully fold the yogurt in with a spatula until all the fruits are evenly coated.
  5. Cover your bowl with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours.
  6. Once chilled, take your creamy fruit salad out of the refrigerator. Serve it in individual bowls or on a large platter to share.
