I made this for my mothers' birthday breakfast because she really loves fruit. This was quick and easy. I used bananas, strawberries, pears and oranges which was what I had on hand. I added some powdered sugar to the yogurt as it was a bit bitter. Probably just the yogurt. I'm going to try again with greek yogurt because I like the flavor of it better. I also mistakenly added the orange juice to the yogurt as well as the bananas, which just made it taste better. A few sprinkles of cinnamon really added a little something special to it. Thanks for a great recipe! :-)

This is a good salad recipe. I feel the dressing makes alot also. I followed the ingredients per recipe except for the blueberries and raspberries were not available here. made for Spring PAC 2008.

We liked the tang the yogurt gave the fruit. I doubled the amounts of the fruits because the dressing really goes a long way. I feel as written this would have served more then 4, more like 8. I had many requests for this recipe also. I adopted this chef for the *Spring PAC 2008* game

This is wonderful and one of my favourite summer desserts. I don't use the blueberries for this one because we don't get that here. Mostly, I use apples, bananas and grapes for this because they are easily available. Truly a keeper recipe!
