- 1 cup red grapes
- ½ cup blueberries
- 1 cup mandarin orange segments
- 1 apple, diced

INSTRUCTION:
- Prepare the fruits: Wash all fruits thoroughly. Chop strawberries, dice the apple, and slice the bananas. Drain the mandarin oranges and pineapple chunks if using canned fruit.
- Combine the fruits: In a large mixing bowl, gently toss together strawberries, bananas, grapes, blueberries, oranges, apples, and pineapple.
- Add the yogurt: Pour the vanilla yogurt over the fruit mixture. Stir gently to coat all the fruit evenly without crushing them.
- Chill: Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to blend and the salad to become perfectly cool and creamy.
- Serve: Spoon into bowls or cups and enjoy immediately. You can garnish with a few mint leaves or a sprinkle of shredded coconut for extra flair.
