Main Ingredients
- 1/2 apple
- Assorted cherry tomatoes
- Assorted pineapple
- A few strawberries
- Assorted orange
- Assorted raisins
- Assorted walnuts
Yogurt Dressing
- 2 plain yogurts
- 0.5 Tbsp honey
- 1 Tbsp lemon juice
- 2 plain yogurts
- 0.5 Tbsp honey
- 1 Tbsp lemon juice
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, wash all the fresh fruits thoroughly under running water. Prepare the fruits like apples, cherry tomatoes, pineapple, strawberries, and oranges by cutting them into bite-sized pieces that are easy for children to eat. Remove seeds from fruits that have them, and peel firmer fruits as needed.
Step 2
If you have an orange, peel it and separate the segments, or if you prefer to use it with the peel, slice it thinly and remove any seeds before adding. The orange’s zestiness will further enhance the salad’s flavor.
Step 3
Laying fresh greens at the bottom of the plate adds a vibrant touch and extra texture to the salad. Wash lettuce or chicory leaves, pat them dry, and arrange them attractively on the plate. Then, artfully arrange the cut fruits on top.
Step 4
Now, let’s make the delicious yogurt dressing! In a bowl, combine 2 plain yogurts, 0.5 tablespoon of honey for sweetness, and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice for a refreshing tang. Whisk gently with a whisk or spoon until smooth. You can adjust the amount of dressing based on the quantity of fruit used. Aim for a consistency that’s not too runny.
Step 5
Finally, prepare the healthy and nutty additions. Use your favorite nuts like walnuts, almonds, or sunflower seeds. You can chop them roughly or use them whole. Generously sprinkle them over the fruit!
Step 6
Drizzle the prepared yogurt dressing generously over the arranged fruit. Top it off with plenty of nuts, and your nutritious Fruit and Nut Yogurt Salad is ready! It’s a super simple kid’s snack that anyone can make. Perfect for busy mornings or when you need a quick, healthy snack for the kids, be sure to give this recipe a try.
