SIMPLE HONEY-MINT-YOGURT DRESSING FOR FRUIT



Simple Honey-Mint-Yogurt Dressing for Fruit image

Fruit is SO tasty and good for you, but every once in a while, you'd like to dress it up a bit, without all the calories! This is a simple, delightful dressing that comes together in less than 2 minutes. You can serve it immediately or allow the flavours to meld together. Mix it either into your fruit of choice or have it along the side, for friends to dip their fruit slices into or add the volume they want. This recipe is for 2 servings.

Time 2m

Yield 6 ounces, 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

6 ounces greek plain yogurt, your brand choice. (I use Nostimo brand yogurt)
1 tablespoon of strongly flavoured honey (Tupelo or Buckwheat are incredible! Regular honey can also be used)
1 tablespoon of chopped mint (I use either Pineapple mint or Peppermint)

Steps:

  • Place the 6 ounces of Greek yogurt into a bowl or container deep enough to stir vigorously. Stir to break up the yogurt.
  • Add chopped mint. Mash mint leaves with the back of a spoon, into the yogurt, to release the flavour. Stir well to combine.
  • Add tablespoon of honey. Stir to combine.
  • Allow to rest or serve immediately. This can either be stirred directly into chunks of fruit, or places on the side of fruit, to be stirred in when you eat it.
  • A favourite combination of Summer fruit that I serve this mixed into, is fresh peach chunks and blackberries! Also great over bananas and strawberries.
