Fruit Salad

 

Here is the yummy fruit salad we had on Sat. for lunch. I made it with Grammy.

Ingredients: 

You can put in as much of each fruit depending on how much you like what. If you don't like something you can leave it out if you want.

We put in:

-2 bananas

-2 persimmon

-1 kiwi

-1 apple

-2 pounds of strawberries (they just needed to be used, normally we don't use so much)

-1 medium bunch of grapes

-2 oranges

- as much sugar as you need (depending on how sweet the fruit is and how sweet you like it.)

-Greek yogurt for the dressing ( just use as much as you want)

Directions:

Cut up all the fruit. ( tip: cut up the banana(s) and apple(s) last so they don't brown)

ENJOY!!!
