Fruit and Lettuce Salad With Orange-Yogurt Dressing created by PaulaG

This is my favorite way to dress up salad greens. You can add almost anything to the salad, but oranges and grapes are my favorites. The dressing is not overly sweet or tart-a nice balance. Even my 2 and 4 year olds will eat salad when prepared this way!

I didn't have any whipped cream but wanted to make a topping for fruit salad. It was pretty good, but a little bland.

Amazing! My 5 and 6 yr old boys had 3-4 servings and wanted more! I used vanilla yogurt instead of plain. For the seeds, I used sunflower seeds and also added blueberries.

Very good, very light. Great Summer salad! Next time I'll skip the bacon as it was kind of a distracting flavor.

This salad is very versatile. I used prepackaged spring mix, cranberries and canned mandarin oranges which were rinsed and well drained. The yogurt I used was a thick homemade yogurt which resulted in a thick, tangy dressing.
