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

(This came from a mailing list I signed up for...)
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.
