Fruit Salad with Poppy Seed Dressing

The American Cancer Society uses equal parts peeled peaches and oranges, chunks of pineapple, grapes and berries for this recipe (from its cookbook Celebrate! Healthy Entertaining for Any Occasion) but notes that you can use any fruits you prefer. Poppy seeds add crunch to the soft-fruit salad, and a 1992 study suggests they might have anticarcinogenic effects, too.

Ingredients

8 cups fresh fruit, cut into bite-sized pieces
2⅔ cups lowfat vanilla yogurt
1 teaspoon poppy seeds

Instructions

Combine all fruit in a large bowl. In a smaller bowl, fold poppy seeds into yogurt with a whisk or spatula.

Spoon a portion of fruit salad into individual serving dishes, then pour 2 to 3 tablespoons of yogurt mixture over fruit.

Yield: 8 cups
