Upgraded to 5 Stars, a pleasant fruit and vegetable salad, even better the next day. I let grated carrot drain a while before combining with other ingredients to avoid watery salad. Served chopped walnuts separately as I shared this with co-workers. Used only 6 ounces of lemon yogurt, because that was the size of the yogurt container; as a result, there was the minimum of sauce as a binder. Thanks for posting. Made for Healthy Choices tag.

This is an easy to prepare, low calorie and tasty fruit salad. The recipe seems to make more than six side-dish servings, next time I'll halve it for my family of four. Made for Healthy Choices Tag.

This fruit salad is so good and so refreshing! It's light and all the textural differences complement one another so very well. It is not overly sweet or gloppy with dressing. I did not have fresh grapes so I used canned fruit cocktail; drained really well. I used roasted almonds, fat free Activa yogurt and it was just delicious. It held up really well for the 3 days it was in the fridge while we consumed it- very little breakdown or condensation from the fruit. My husband loves this recipe as much as I do.

This was delicioous and refreshing. I served it poker night as a "dessert." My friends were expecting a heavy cake or pie, but I am trying to help all of us eat a little more healthy stuff. I loved it, but it was not well received by my unhealthy poker playing friends, simply becasue they don't like lite fare. I guess I need to find healthier friends! JK. This is a good recipe and good for you. Try it!

SPRING PAC 2008: TR, I'm not sure how many adjectives they will let me use to describe this recipe, but let's start with fabulous, wonderful, tasty, quick, easy, delightful and GOOD FOR YOU!! I used the vanilla yogurt but next time will try the lemon just for a different "zing". This salad went together quickly and easily and was gone in less than 30 minutes. Thanks for a keeper to my recipe file.
