Cutting into a fresh pineapple is always a welcome task around our house. The sweet aroma fills the kitchen with tropical ambiance. Add a little papaya and strawberry to the mix and you’ve got a snack fit for a luau.  Our Tropical Fruit Salad with Vanilla Yogurt isn’t purely morning fare. Serve this healthy, kid-friendly dish for breakfast or in the afternoon when the kiddos get home from school. It’s a light healthy alternative to that store-bought fruit snacks loaded with artificial sweeteners and colors.

Got a summer event to attend? With a dollop of creamy vanilla yogurt on top a colorful array of delicious tropical fruit, this dish is a delightful sight at any potluck or summer BBQ. Top it all off with crunchy almonds and you’ll have them coming back for more.
