We also enjoyed the honey/cinnamon combination in this dressing. I don't believe I've had either in a fruit salad before. When shopping, buy one apple and pear. This will get you close to the cup that is required of each fruit. This will go into my Encore Cookbook. Made for I RECOMMEND JULY ~ RED WHITE and BLUE SPECIAL

Very nice and flavorful salad! I enjoyed the honey/cinnamon dressing, but oddly enough a light sprinkle of salt was a perfect addition for me. Thanks for sharing the recipe!

Mmm very yummy. The cinnamon and honey blend to make a tasty dressing that accents the fruit wonderfully. Made one change used plain fat free Greek yogurt in place of the mayonnaise other then that made as written. Thanks for the post.

This was a lovely refreshing salad CoffeeB, I enjoyed it very much. We found the dressing a little overpowering, next time I will use less mayonnaise. Loved the addition of the honey & cinnamon, it really made the pears and apple flavors pop. I used sweet, mini, red munchkin grapes, they were perfect in this dish. Thanks for sharing this quick and easy to make fruit salad. :)

Great salad. . .loved the mix of the fruits. I added chopped walnuts which were great. I, like Derf, only used 1T of honey. Thanks for a great side dish! Made as a Recipenap for Veg*n Swap Oct 2009.
