Note

For a special occasion, combine 1/8 cup pure maple syrup with one ounce of vodka and pour over the salad just before serving.

Serve this salad chilled for best texture, especially on hot days.

If using yogurt, add it just before serving to prevent the fruit from becoming soggy.

You can substitute any seasonal fruits you have on hand, such as kiwi, pineapple, or mango.
