Frosted Orange Ginger Fruit Salad

Hey Little Girls...It's time to make a really healthy summer treat for your families!
If you love this...let me know - I'm full of 'em! Enjoy!

Frosted Orange Ginger Fruit Salad

Description
For the same reasons this fruit salad makes a great breakfast, it also makes a great snack. It is light, naturally sweetened, and smothered in a smooth yogurt and ginger topping. Often, we find ourselves so busy that we quickly grab less-healthy foods to satisfy us. Make this ahead of time and keep it in the refrigerator, or take it to work in a covered container.


Ingredients
2 cups washed and sliced fresh strawberries
2 cups grapes
1 cup washed, cored, and diced apples
3 oranges, peeled, seeded, and cubed
1/4 cup freshly squeezed orange juice (from the 3 peeled, seeded, and cubed oranges)
1 cup plain low-fat yogurt (optional)
1/2 cup chopped crystallized ginger
2 tablespoons honey

GARNISH
12 sprigs mint


Instructions
Toss all the fruit together in a medium bowl.
Whisk the orange juice, yogurt, ginger, and honey in a separate bowl. Pour the dressing over the fruit. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to marry the flavors.
Spoon the coated fruit into 12 small dessert dishes or parfait glasses. Garnish each with a sprig of mint.
