Fresh Fruit Salad with Amaretto Yogurt
Perfect for an Elegant Dessert or Sunday Brunch, our Fresh Fruit Salad with Amaretto Yogurt is sure to Impress (and they won't ruin your Diet...Yay)!
Fresh fruit like berries, melon, and pears are especially delicious when you get just a touch naughty and toss them in a little hooch. Hello? Who’s doing the cookin’ over here… you know what kitchen you’re in… we’ve met! Amaretto, with its delicate almond flavor, is an ideal way to make simple fresh fruit feel more substantial.
So will Greek yogurt. Nonfat Greek Yogurt is protein rich and a smart way to indulge without the guilt! We make it zippy with almond extract, lemon zest, and Amaretto. Mmm! Then find a pretty glass (we do eat with our eyes after all), fill it with the boozy fruit and add a dollop of our Amaretto yogurt.
The Spiced Candied Walnuts take it to a new dimension! It’s Crazy! So insanely good, you’ll love every gorgeous mouthful! Promise!
