Fruit Salad Dressing Recipes

We love all the sweet flavors and contrasting textures in this simple fruit salad. Sprinkle chopped, toasted nuts or granola on top for crunch.

Very low cal and low fat. Healthy way to satisfy sweet tooth.

The nonfat yogurt with a touch of cinnamon makes a sweet yet refreshing dressing, and no fat!

While basking in this gorgeous light and thinking about Summer fun times, like 4th of July and beach days, all I could imagine eating was a fresh and vibrant tropical fruit salad that incorporates all the amazing fruits that flourish in Hawaii. And then this happened.

I love this dressing on a salad with Chicken and Fruit. It's creamy and satisfying. This is also the perfect Cole slaw dressing.

yummy!

This is a nice dressing to add to a tossed salad. I use several types of lettuce, spinach, broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, tomatoes, green peppers, bunching onions, black olives, almonds or walnuts, just whatever you want. I also put in grapes or strawberries, halved or sliced to add some more sweet to it. Top it off with a low-fat cheese, such as Mozzarella, maybe a little sliced deli meat and you have a meal in one for less than 500 calories.

Yogurt dressing sweetened with agave nectar.

This is great as a dip for fruit or dressing on a fruit salad. I use apple juice, but nearly any fruit juice would taste great (but obviously would change the calories per serving). Also, I like this recipe because I can't stand the taste of artificial sweeteners. Despite the fact that the yogurt contains splenda, even sensitive people shouldn't be able to taste it.

You can modify the fruit to your tastes!

Makes a creamy and low cal dressing for approx. 8-10 cups of fruit salad. I used grapefruit, apples, peaches, bananas, and blueberries.

I left off the salt and candied ginger.

A fruit salad with 8 kinds of fruits and a yummy lowfat cream cheese dressing!

I add fruit juice to almost all salad dressings - even store bought ones - because I vastly prefer the taste of dressings when the strong flavor of oil and vinegar and spice (or salt!) is diluted a bit. As a bonus, it makesthe dressing spread through your salad further and reduces the need for more calorie laden dressing.

I know how it sounds... but this makes a generous bowl full of fruit and the dressing adds an unexpected layer of flavor - the tang of the dressing brings out the sweetness of the fruit even more and makes it shine!

Fruit is Mother Nature's dessert, but by creating a sweet and tangy dressing, you can tie together all the flavors of a fruit salad. I especially like to use this dressing in winter, when fruit isn't quite as appealing.
Any fruit works with this dressing. You can use one variety or seven, whatever you have on hand. I like raspberries, peaches, plums, or grapes.

Pick fruits that are in season. Not only are they fresher but they cost less as well.

Make sure you smell your poppyseeds. One sniff and you'll know if they're rancid. Always date them when you bring them home, and use them within six months.

This is from epicurious website. I do not like papaya so I added mango. I didn't have strawberries on hand so I added blackberries. It's delicious.
