Fruit salad with cinnamon yogurt dressing

We always love having fruit salad at home. My husband enjoys almost every fruit and would eat a bowl of it every day if he could. Today, I’m sharing my easy recipe for a fruit salad with a simple yogurt and cinnamon dressing. And of course, a crunchy walnut topping is a must.

Here are some tips to make your fruit salad even more delicious:

1. Use seasonal fruits: Choose fresh, in-season fruits for the best flavor and sweetness. In winter, pomegranate, citrus fruits, and kiwi are great choices.

2. Add aome crunch: Besides nuts, you can sprinkle granola or toasted coconut flakes on top for extra texture.

3. Enhance the flavor: A squeeze of fresh lemon or orange juice prevents the fruit from browning and adds a refreshing tang.

4. Make it creamier: If you prefer a richer texture, mix the yogurt with a bit of coconut cream or nut butter.

5. Boost the sweetness naturally: Instead of agave syrup, try maple syrup, honey (if not vegan), or mashed ripe banana for natural sweetness.

6. Let it sit for a bit: Allowing the salad to sit for 10–15 minutes before serving helps the flavors meld together.

7. Experiment with spices: Besides cinnamon, try a pinch of nutmeg, cardamom, or vanilla extract for a unique twist.
