Any idea for no sugar added "dressing" for fruit salad?

Question

I am making a simple fruit salad for an 80th birthday party tomorrow. Since the fruit is already sweet, I don't want to add a lot of sugar since many people attending can't have a lot of sugar. Does anyone have an idea for a simple dressing to either toss the fruit in or dip the fruit in? I am mixing strawberries, blueberries, cantaloupe and bananas... My MIL suggested apple but I wasn't sure if that went? An ideas are appreciated. I am making 3 salads so I need simple on this one.

Answer 1

Plain yogurt, honey, and poppyseeds makes a great healthy, simple dressing that is delicious to coat the fruit.

For a dip mix cream cheese with honey. I serve this dip often with fresh fruit displays when I am catering. It goes over very well. If you want to keep it really simple, just whip up some fresh heavy cream.

Answer 2

I usually cut a fresh lemon and squirt it on the  fruit and then add a little Splenda or Nutri sweet and toss. you can taste all of thefruits and a the lemon gives it a zip!

Answer 3

A good olive oil,balsamic vinegar,chopped thyme and tarragon makes a good sweet dressing for this..beware if you have any people that are impartial to licorice, for tarragon will "lean" toward a sweet licoricy taste..a touch of good orange blossom honey will do good in it too and help thicken it up

Answer 4

use sugarfree whipped topping

Answer 5

delete the bananas.add fresh pineapple chunks instead and squeeze some fresh lime juice on it and a wee bit of real vanilla extract

Answer 6

I have several diabetic friends, so low- or no-sugar is always a consideration.  These are my two favorites:

simply mix in lemon yogurt -simple, light and creamy

1/4 c. orange juice and cinnamon, blended together - gives it just a little tang and tastes great
