1. Prepare the Fruit:
- Wash and prepare all the fruits as indicated in the ingredients list. Combine them in a large mixing bowl.
- If using canned fruits, make sure to drain them well before adding them to the bowl.
2. Make the Creamy Dressing:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the vanilla yogurt, sour cream, honey or agave nectar, vanilla extract, and orange zest until smooth.
- If desired, fold in the shredded coconut and chopped nuts for extra texture and flavor.
3. Combine the Salad:
- Pour the creamy dressing over the prepared fruit in the large mixing bowl.
- Gently toss the fruit and dressing together until all the fruit is evenly coated.
4. Chill the Salad:
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the salad for at least 1 hour before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together.
5. Serve:
- Before serving, sprinkle the top of the salad with crushed graham crackers or cookies and mini chocolate chips for added crunch and sweetness.
- Garnish with fresh mint leaves.
Tips:
- Fruit Selection: Feel free to mix and match your favorite fruits or whatever is in season. The more variety, the better!
- Dressing Adjustments: Adjust the sweetness of the dressing to your preference by adding more or less honey or agave nectar.
- Serving Ideas: Serve the fruit salad in individual bowls or glasses for a beautiful presentation. You can also serve it with a dollop of whipped cream for extra indulgence.
