This recipe for Breakfast Fruit Salad is so easy. I really does make a great breakfast and even lunch–especially on those sweltering hot summer days here in Texas. Okay, it’s the middle of February and I’m only DREAMING of those summer days, as it’s gotten cold here, (well cold for Texas!). This is a breakfast that my kids really enjoy, it’s sweet and crunchy, which makes it a good substitute for the crunchy breakfast cereal we are no longer eating while on the grain free diet. The yogurt dressing really makes this salad so yummy! You can add other fruit and nuts to the mix. In the past, I’ve added walnuts (which I’ve discovered I have an allergy to) and pecans. I’ve also added strawberries instead of the grapes. To make it sort of like a Waldorf salad, you can even add a bit of celery. The recipe is versatile, and I haven’t found a combination that didn’t work alright. But it’s a healthy substitute to more processed breakfast foods. It can also be pretty frugal depending on the fruit you use and if you use seasonal fruits on sale. The yogurt dressing is simple and healthy. Purchasing plain yogurt and flavoring it yourself, if MUCH more healthy than purchasing the stuff already flavored, which is full of high fructose corn syrup and other not so good for you things. Not to mention that it really is easy! Which reminds me, I think I’ll do a post about making homemade flavored yogurt this week! In the meantime, enjoy this recipe!
