FAVORITE FRUIT SALAD

Kat Baldwin, Kyle Baldwin, Recipe #3

Ingredients:
1 cup vanilla low-fat yogurt
1/3 cup orange juice
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
2 medium apples, chopped
2 cups seedless green grapes, halved
1/2 cup PLANTERS Dry Roasted Peanuts

BEAT yogurt, orange juice and cinnamon in medium bowl with wire whisk until well blended.
ADD remaining ingredients; mix lightly.
SERVE immediately. Or, cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

I omit the peanuts and cinnamon. I also use whatever fruit is in season. We really like to add pineapple and mandarin oranges to the mix. I like this one because there is no whip cream, thus less sugar
