Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Wash all the fruits under cold water. In a large mixing bowl, combine the blueberries, raspberries, sliced strawberries, and green grapes. Add the diced apple last to prevent browning. Drizzle fresh lemon juice over the mixed fruits and toss gently until evenly coated.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the softened mascarpone cheese, plain yogurt, honey, additional lemon juice, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  3. Just before serving, pour the creamy yogurt dressing over the prepared fruit medley and gently fold until each piece is coated.
  4. Transfer the Easter Fruit Salad to a serving bowl or individual portions in ramekins. Serve chilled.

Notes

Use the freshest fruits possible for vibrant flavors. Avoid overly juicy fruits like bananas to prevent the salad from becoming soggy. Prepare the salad ahead of time but mix in the dressing just before serving.
