Ingredients

  • 1 cup creme fraiche, sour cream or yogurt
  • 1/2 cup orange juice
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • 12 fresh mint leaves, chopped
  • 2 ripe bananas
  • 1 cantaloupe, peeled, seeded and cut into chunks
  • 1 ripe pineapples, peeled, cored and cut into chunks
  • 1 pint strawberries, hulled and quartered
  • 1/2 cup red seedless grapes
  • 3 kiwi, peeled and sliced

Directions

In a small bowl, combine the creme fraiche, orange and lemon juices, sugar and mint.

Peel and slice the bananas, put in a large bowl, along with the cantaloupe, pineapple, strawberries and grapes. Add the crème fraiche mixture and toss gently to coat the fruit with the dressing.

Put the salad into a serving dish or bowl and garnish with the kiwi slices.

Chef's notes:

I've also served this salad with a scoop of frozen yogurt instead of mixing in crème fraiche.

    I made this recipe for a friend who Loves ambrosia (before this recipe, not one of my favorites. Excellent. We used the sour cream, and it was a great complement to Thanksgiving dinner.

    I followed this recipe to a T and it still came out very runny. I used full fat greek yogurt which is thicker than your regular yogurt. It just did not work out for me. I wouldn't use this recipe again.

    Used at a family party. Great taste and easy to make. I was concerned about the fruit juices (orange and lemon would make the sauce runny. I did not add the liquids to and instead added the zest of one lemon to vanilla yougart. Also drain any liquid from the cut fruit. Turned out perfect.
