This doesn't sound bad at all HO. I have found I like the fruit, nuts, greens, and citrus juice mixed together. (I had to buy some oranges.) I also found I like a dollop of Greek yogurt since none of my normal dressings matched.

Next week I will buy fewer fruits but I think I may be able to consistently include fruit in my diet. Now in addition to grapes, I really like pineapple.

Tulip here is another one for you

Recipe: Apple Fruit Salad
Now that warmer weather's on its way, here's a lovely, light, refreshing fruit salad for you to enjoy. The name spells it all out: The emphasis here is on the apples, which give this salad both crunch and flavor. Choose your favorite crisp variety and leave the peels on for added color and fiber!

• 3 apples, cored and cubed
• 1/4 lb. seedless grapes, washed and removed from stems
• 1 banana, peeled and thinly sliced
• 1 8-oz. can pineapple chunks canned in juice, drained
• 1/4 cup chopped walnuts
• 1 tsp. honey
• 1-1/2 cups low-fat vanilla yogurt

In small bowl, whisk together honey and yogurt. Place rest of ingredients in large bowl, pour yogurt mixture over all, and toss to mix well. You can serve it immediately, or cover and let stand for 20 minutes in refrigerator before serving. Makes 4 servings.
Total Preparation Time: 10 to 30 minutes
