Easy Winter Fruit Salad Low Sugar Recipes

EASY WINTER FRESH FRUIT SALAD

Steps:

• Place the fruit in a serving bowl. (If using pears, because they sometimes darken faster than apples, I like to toss them with a light squeeze of lemon juice before adding to the salad.)
• Whisk together the dressing ingredients and pour over the fruit and toss to combine.
• The fruit salad can be made a couple hours ahead of time - keep in mind that depending on what type of fruit is used, the colors may seep into each other as the salad sits.

• Variations with full sugar: 1. Make the salad using heavy syrup in your canned fruits, regular (not sugar-free) instant vanilla dry pudding mix, and regular (not zero calorie) sugar. 2. To make an old-fashioned sauce that was often used on fruit salads, take 1/2 cup mayonnaise and place in a cereal bowl. Add 2-4 Table. sugar to the mayonnaise, then slowly add the peach syrup (or you can use milk) to thin the mayonnaise mixture. Pour over the fruit and blend. 3. Take 3/4 cup heavy cream. Add sugar to taste and mix well. Pour over the fruit and blend.
