Any idea for no sugar added "dressing" for fruit salad?!
I am making a simple fruit salad for an 80th birthday party tomorrow!. Since the fruit is already sweet, I don't want to add a lot of sugar since many people attending can't have a lot of sugar!. Does anyone have an idea for a simple dressing to either toss the fruit in or dip the fruit in!? I am mixing strawberries, blueberries, cantaloupe and bananas!.!.!. My MIL suggested apple but I wasn't sure if that went!? An ideas are appreciated!. I am making 3 salads so I need simple on this one!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Plain yogurt, honey, and poppyseeds makes a great healthy, simple dressing that is delicious to coat the fruit!.
For a dip mix cream cheese with honey!. I serve this dip often with fresh fruit displays when I am catering!. It goes over very well!. If you want to keep it really simple, just whip up some fresh heavy cream!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
