Ingredients

  • 2 medium apples cored and diced, see note
  • 1 11-ounce can mandarin oranges drained
  • 1 cup seedless red grapes halved
  • 1 ½ cups miniature marshmallows
  • 1 cup (8-ounces) vanilla low-fat yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons chopped nuts optional, see note
  • zest of 1 lime

Instructions

  1. In a large serving bowl add all of the ingredients at once and gently stir to combine.
  2. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve (see note).

Recipe Notes

1. For this recipe, tart apples work best. Granny smith or golden delicious both work well.

2. My choices for the chopped nuts would be chopped walnuts, pecans, or roasted almonds. These can easily be omitted if you are not a fan of nuts.

3. This salad is best served the same day as it is prepared. But I have successfully made it a few hours in advance. If serving the next day, be aware that some liquid will pool at the bottom of the serving bowl.
