The Glade 4.0

Slightly sweet, light desert. Should be safe for glycemic load conscious folks if served in small quantities.

Frosted Orange Ginger Fruit Salad

Description
For the same reasons this fruit salad makes a great breakfast, it also makes a great snack. It is light, naturally sweetened, and smothered in a smooth yogurt and ginger topping. Often, we find ourselves so busy that we quickly grab less-healthy foods to satisfy us. Make this ahead of time and keep it in the refrigerator, or take it to work in a covered container.


Ingredients

• 2 cups washed and sliced fresh strawberries
• 2 cups grapes
• 1 cup washed, cored, and diced apples
• 3 oranges, peeled, seeded, and cubed
• 1/4 cup freshly squeezed orange juice (from the 3 peeled, seeded, and cubed oranges)
• 1 cup plain low-fat yogurt (optional)
• 1/2 cup chopped crystallized ginger
• 2 tablespoons honey

GARNISH

• 12 sprigs mint

Instructions
Toss all the fruit together in a medium bowl.

Whisk the orange juice, yogurt, ginger, and honey in a separate bowl. Pour the dressing over the fruit. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to marry the flavors.

Spoon the coated fruit into 12 small dessert dishes or parfait glasses. Garnish each with a sprig of mint.

Looks tasty!
