Fall Fruit Salad

It is time to enjoy our fall fruits! This fruit salad focuses on three autumn loves: pomegranates, grapes, and apples. While eating the fruit plain is just as delicious, squeezing fresh lemon juice adds a nice kick of citrus and Vitamin C (much needed for cold and flu season!) while a few dollops of Greek yogurt adds creaminess, protein, and probiotics. Not to mention the fruits naturally contain antioxidants, fiber, and potassium. Talk about a powerful combination!

This would be great for parties and gatherings, as a snack, or even for dessert!

Tips:

• While I chose Greek yogurt for a thicker texture and for protein, you can definitely swap with any yogurt you love!
• Play around with citrus. Limes and oranges would be fantastic alternatives. Add the zest of your citrus if you desire a stronger citrus flavor.
