Instructions

Combine the Fruits: Begin by mixing together all the pineapple chunks, sliced bananas, chopped apples, segmented oranges, star fruit slices, seedless grapes, and raisins in a large bowl. Gently stir to combine, ensuring an even distribution of the different fruits.

Dress the Salad: Pour the prepared yogurt and honey mixture over the fruit. Gently toss the fruit and dressing together until all the pieces are evenly coated with the creamy mixture.
-
Chill and Marinate: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and place it in the refrigerator. Allow the salad to chill for at least 1 hour, or up to 1 hour and 30 minutes, to let the flavors meld and the fruit become nicely chilled.
-
Garnish and Serve: Before serving, slice the additional star fruit into thin pieces and arrange them decoratively on top of the salad. This not only adds a beautiful touch but also enhances the flavor with a hint of star fruit in every bite.
