Fruit salad with mint dressing - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Absolutely! Feel free to substitute with your favorite seasonal fruits. Berries, melon, or even kiwi would be delicious additions. Just make sure the fruits are ripe but firm.
While fresh mint is best, you can use dried mint in a pinch. Use about 1 teaspoon of dried mint for every tablespoon of fresh mint. Keep in mind the flavor will be more concentrated.
The fruit salad is best enjoyed fresh, but it can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Note that the fruit may soften slightly and release some juices.
Yes! Simply substitute the yogurt in the dressing with a plant-based yogurt alternative, such as coconut yogurt or almond yogurt.
You can definitely reduce or eliminate the added sugar. Taste the fruit salad after mixing and add a small amount of sugar or a sugar substitute (like stevia or erythritol) to your liking. The natural sweetness of the fruit might be enough!
Freezing is not recommended as the fruit will become mushy and the dressing will separate when thawed. It's best to enjoy this salad fresh.
Besides serving it as a standalone dessert or side dish, you can also top yogurt or granola with the fruit salad for a healthy breakfast or snack. It's also great as a topping for grilled meats or fish.
The lemon juice helps, but you can also use a fruit protector spray according to the package directions. These usually contain Vitamin C to prevent oxidation.
