Flowers, blooms, butterflys…spring is here and I feel really rejuvenated! I am enjoying more sunshine and have been craving fruit! Easter will be coming up soon and I thought it would be nice to have a colorful yet healthy Weight Watchers recipe to take. This Weight Watchers fruit salad turned out delicious and I love how low in Freestyle SmartPoints it is.
Weight Watchers Fruit Salad
One thing about this fruit salad is that you can customize it to meet your needs. It is easy to add more of one kind of fruit if that is what you have on hand. Picking fruit that is in season can also make this taste even better.
Ingredients for Weight Watchers Fruit Salad
Fruit Needed:
2 large pears
4 kiwi fruit
2 large plums or persimmons
6 mandarin oranges
Dressing Ingredients:
1/2 cup to 1 cup of orange juice
2 teaspoons of lemon juice
1/4 cup honey
1/2 teaspoon poppy seeds
How to Make Weight Watchers Fruit Salad
If you love easy recipes like I do then you are in luck!
First wash your fruit.
Next remove peels and cut the fruit up into bite size pieces.
Stir dressing ingredients together in a small bowl until well combined.
Put fruit in a large bowl and pour dressing over the fruit.
HOW EASY is that?? 🙂
Servings and Freestyle SmartPoints
I am going to be honest and say that the serving size is going to vary a LOT based on the size of your fruit and what fruit you put in this!! Remember you can just divide it down by how many servings you end up with.
The honey has 16 Freestyle SmartPoints and if you use a cup of OJ that is another 6 points. So the recipe TOTAL is 22 Freestyle SmartPoints divided by how many servings you end up with. I measured a 1/2 cup per serving! I came up with about 6 cups of fruit salad…so it was 2 Freestyle SmartPoints per 1/2 cup serving.
Pretty Bowls for a Pretty Fruit Salad
This fruit salad is SO pretty that it can't go in my 20 year old tupperware bowl, LOL. Here are some beautiful bowls to house this salad especially if you are taking it to a gathering.
I love how vintage this Lenox French Perle Groove Serving Bowl
A bowl that would work great for so many occasions is this Hardwood Thick Acacia Wood Serving Bowl
Last is a Lenox Butterfly Meadow Serving Bowl
