10 minThis fruit salad is a throwback to the kind of recipe your grandma clipped from the newspaper and never lost.
Crunchy Granny Smith apples, sweet banana slices, and chewy raisins pile onto a bed of crisp iceberg lettuce. It’s simple, colorful, and satisfying in a way that fussy salads never are.
The real star here is the peanut butter honey dressing. Nutty, sweet, and creamy, it ties everything together and turns a basic fruit bowl into something you’ll actually crave.
Whip this up for a weeknight side, a quick lunch, or anytime you want something fresh that the kids will actually eat without a single complaint.
Chef Tips
- Use cold, crisp lettuce for the best crunch contrast against the soft fruit.
- Toss the apple slices in a little lemon juice to keep them from browning if you’re making this ahead.
- Thin the dressing with a splash more milk if you like it pourable rather than thick.
Ingredients
Directions
Combine the lettuce and fruit, tossing lightly to mix.
For the dressing, combine the peanut butter and honey, then gradually add the milk.
Add the dressing and mix well until well blended.
Chill until serving time.
