Creamy Peanut Butter Fruit Salad

 Creamy Peanut Butter Fruit Salad


Creamy Peanut Butter Fruit Salad

This creamy peanut butter fruit salad is a delicious and refreshing combination of fresh fruits with a rich, creamy peanut butter dressing. It’s a perfect dish for a quick snack, side, or even a light dessert.

Ingredients

For the Salad:

  • 1 apple, chopped
  • 1 banana, sliced
  • 1 cup strawberries, hulled and quartered
  • 1 cup grapes, halved (red or green)
  • 1 cup pineapple chunks (fresh or canned)
  • 1 orange, peeled and segmented
  • 1 kiwi, peeled and sliced
  • ½ cup blueberries (optional)

For the Peanut Butter Dressing:

  • ½ cup creamy peanut butter
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt (or dairy-free yogurt)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2-3 tablespoons milk (any kind, to reach desired consistency)
  • Pinch of salt (optional, to enhance flavors)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Fruit:

Wash and chop all the fruit into bite-sized pieces. Add them to a large mixing bowl.

2. Make the Peanut Butter Dressing:

In a small bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, honey (or maple syrup), Greek yogurt, lemon juice, and salt. Gradually add the milk, one tablespoon at a time, until the dressing reaches a smooth, creamy consistency. You can adjust the sweetness and texture by adding more honey or milk as needed.

3. Toss the Salad:

Pour the peanut butter dressing over the chopped fruit. Gently toss to coat the fruit evenly with the creamy dressing.

4. Serve:

Serve immediately as a refreshing snack or dessert. You can also chill the fruit salad in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes before serving if you prefer a cooler salad.

Tips and Variations

  • Add-ins: Feel free to add nuts (e.g., chopped peanuts, almonds), granola, or a sprinkle of cinnamon for extra texture and flavor.
  • Vegan Option: Use dairy-free yogurt and maple syrup to make this salad vegan-friendly.
  • Other Fruits: You can swap or add fruits like mango, pears, peaches, or melon for different flavors and textures.
  • Sweetness: Adjust the sweetness of the dressing to your taste by adding more honey or using a sweeter fruit combination.
  • Make it a Meal: Add some protein by tossing in a handful of granola or a scoop of protein powder for a more filling snack or meal.

Storage:

  • Refrigerate: This fruit salad is best eaten fresh, but it can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1-2 days. The peanut butter dressing may thicken a little as it sits, but you can add a bit more milk to loosen it.

This creamy peanut butter fruit salad is a satisfying and delicious treat that combines the natural sweetness of fruit with the rich flavor of peanut butter! 🥜🍎🍌
