Simple Yogurt Fruit Salad

Submitted by LD15415

"So simple, healthy and delicious.. Made it for my daughter after the birth of her first child. After leaving the hospital she was looking for healthy foods. Thought about what fruit to get her and decided to just get it all and make a fruit salad. Looked for recipes and found many had unnecessary high calorie fluff. To my surprise she loved what I came up with. I have made several since that time. Her favorite part is the crispness of the apple next to the soft banana. I've made up several of these and the great thing is you can easily increase or decrease the number of servings by adding or reducing amount of fruits you prefer. I purchase more of the seasonal items to keep cost reasonable."
