Notes
-
Feel free to substitute or add any other fruits like oranges, kiwi, or pineapple for more variety.
-
You can use flavored Greek yogurt if you prefer, but plain yogurt keeps it lighter and lets the honey and extracts shine.
- This fruit salad can be made ahead of time, but it’s best to add the yogurt sauce just before serving to keep the fruit fresh and crunchy.
