Autumn Fruit Salad with Cinnamon Greek Yogurt

By á-29897

crisp pears work better than softer varieties – and if you can’t find great pears for this salad, you’re better off leaving them out and throwing in extra apples and grapes.

Ingredients

• 2 medium Bartlett pears (or other ripe but firm pears), diced
• 2 medium apples (a fresh, crisp variety like honeycrisp, cripps, or pink lady is best), diced
• 1 cup red grapes, halved
• 1/3 cup Greek yogurt
• 2 teaspoons freshly grated lemon zest (from 1 medium lemon)
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (from the zested lemon)
• 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup (can substitute honey)
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoons ground nutmeg
• 1/3 cup pecans*, chopped
