Creamy Yogurt Fresh Fruit Salad Recipe

This is an easy side dish that you can throw together right before dinner.  One of the saddest things about summer ending is that you don’t have access to as many delicious fruits; thankfully this salad can be adapted to whatever fruit is in season.

This fruit salad is so easy to make. It is inexpensive, quick, and a family favorite. Whenever I need a quick side dish, this is my go to. I did use canned peaches but real ones taste amazing in this recipe!

Ingredients for Creamy Yogurt Fresh Fruit Salad

How to make Creamy Yogurt Fresh Fruit Salad:

Step 1: Mix together the prepared fruit in a large bowl. We did strawberries, peaches, bananas, and red seedless grapes.

You can do any fruit that is in season, but these fruits go great together.

Step 2: Gently mix in 2 Tablespoons of lime juice to keep the fruit from browning.

Step 3: In a separate small bowl, mix together yogurt, lemon juice, sugar, and vanilla.

Step 4: Add yogurt mixture to the prepared fruit mix until well combined.

Can I make this Creamy Yogurt Fresh Fruit Salad ahead of time?

You can make this recipe ahead of time. However, we recommend not adding the bananas until serving. We would not recommend  making this more than one day ahead of time.

Even if you add lemon juice, your bananas will lose their texture and get soggy. We have found this recipe works best when you make it ahead of time, if you add the yogurt mixture and bananas right before serving.

Also keep it in an airtight container in a fridge. You don’t want any extra moisture getting in.

What yogurt works best for this recipe?

Really any yogurt will work for this recipe. The textures will be different with each one you choose. I prefer Greek yogurt because I love the texture and it has so many health benefits.

We have tried this recipe with many different yogurts, and they all seem to work. I even like it using non-dairy yogurt with this recipe, and it is delicious.

    I love the recipes your site posts, but do you have any diabetic friendly recipes? As a whole, not for this particular recipe which looks ok for a diabetic using splenda instead of sugar.

    Can you use dairy free yogurt?
  7. Cyd says:
    March 27, 2014
    We haven't used dairy free yogurt. But if it has the same thickness and texture it will work great!

    If I make this with vanilla yogurt, do I still need to add the vanilla extract?
  9. Cyd says:
    July 8, 2014
    You wouldn't need to.

    In the section on how to make this salad it mentioned sugar but in the list of ingredients sugar is not mentioned. How much sugar is needed? Or am I missing something? Thank you.
  13. Momma Cyd says:

    You can either add 1 teaspoon of sugar or 1 teaspoon of honey for added sweetness. You can also leave it out all together and the fruit salad is still delicious.

    Made this for marching band today was really good although a little runny. I tripled the recipe as was for a group of hungry teens is there anything I could do next time so it's as runny?
  15. Momma Cyd says:
    September 20, 2021
    Sorry it was runny. If your fruit is still wet, that will add to the problem. Greek yogurt is thicker, so be sure you use Greek yogurt over regular yogurt. You can always cut back on the yogurt if you feel like that added to the problem of too much liquid. It's hard to say where you tripled the recipe. We have not had a problem with it.

    Can I use something else besides yogurt? My husband doesn’t like yogurt!

    You could mix the fruit with whipped cream.
