    This Summer Fruit Salad is the best summer recipe. It's loaded with seasonal fruit and we top it with a simple homemade yogurt sauce.

    Summer Side Dish:

    This Summer Fruit Salad is the best summer side dish. You can serve it with dinner, take it on a picnic, or bring it to a backyard BBQ. Plus it's so simple to put together and the bright colorful fruit makes a beautiful dish.

    Ingredients:

    This is the fruit we use in our summer fruit salad but you can easily switch out or leave it out to make it to your taste.

    • Watermelon
    • Kiwi
    • Orange clementines
    • Blueberries
    • Raspberries

    ingredients on a white background

    Directions:

    Step one: Using a trifle bowl or clear glass bowl make a layer of watermelon, follow up with kiwi, clementine, blueberries, and raspberries for the top.

    adding fruit in layers to the bowl

    Why watermelon on the bottom? Watermelon tends to be real “watery” and heavy so it might crush the other fruit. 

    Can I change the order of the fruit? Of course, you can switch things up to fit your taste. We put them in order of heavy to lightest so no fruit gets squashed in the process.

    Yogurt Sauce Ingredients:

    Here is what you need to make the simple yogurt sauce to top your fruit salad with.

    • Bananas
    • Yogurt
    • Maple syrup
    • Lemon juice
    • Vanilla

    adding ingredients to a glass to make yogurt sauce

     

    Step two: In a blender combine the 2 peeled bananas, yogurt, maple syrup, vanilla, and lemon juice.  Blend well and serve as a dipping sauce or topping.

    Step three: Serve fruit in individual glasses or bowls and top with yogurt sauce.

    What else can I top it with? If you don't want to make the yogurt sauce you can top your fruit with whipped cream as well as just vanilla yogurt.
