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!

Apples : I recommend Granny smith, Honey Crisp, Pink Lady, Fuji, Gala, Northern Spy

Pomegranate arils: Pro tip: Buy the pomegranate seeds so you don’t have to deal with the hassle of getting the seeds out yourself!

Pears : Green Anjou, Bartlett, Comice, Concorde, Forelle, or seckel.

Oranges : Blood oranges are a great seasonal citrus to use. Or you can use mandarine oranges, naval oranges, or tangerines.

Kiwi : a great source of potassium and vitamin C.

Pecans : Optional but adds a nice crunch!

For the dressing:

  • Greek yogurt
  • Lemon Juice and Zest
  • Honey
  • Vanilla Extract
  • Cinnamon & Nutmeg

How to make a fall fruit salad

First make the dressing : 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.
