Fruit Salad with Lemon Avocado Sauce
Please don't be scared away by the "Avocado" sauce - I know it sounds strange but it is delicious..........at least my mother-in-law and I thought it was delicious. My husband's exact response was "ICK." So, this recipe would be perfect for a Ladies Afternoon Tea - not for a Guys Football Party.
1 large golden delicious apple (peeled, cored and sliced)
1 small pineapple (peeled, cored and sliced - see HOW TO below)
Prepare the ingredients as listed above. In a large bowl combine all of the prepared fruit (mangoes, apple & pineapple) and lightly stir/mix. Now, prepare the sauce below:
1 Avocado (peeled, pitted and mashed - see HOW TO below)
1/2 cup sour cream or plain yogurt (if you are using yogurt - use the thick Greek style yogurt)
1/4 teaspoon to 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (depending on your like or dislike of cinnamon)
1/4 cup sugar (if you are using yogurt that is sweetened then you will want to add less sugar).
Prepare the avocado as listed above - so that it is "mashed" and smooth (with no visible chunks). Add the remaining ingredients and stir until fully mixed (NOTE: You may use a blender or electric mixer if you prefer - but do not whip or over blend).
HOW TO: Cut a Whole Fresh Pineapple
Dish up the fruit and then add the sauce on each individual plate - instead of mixing the fruit & sauce all together before hand. ENJOY!

I'm afraid I'd probably be with your husband on this one. I've never been able to like avocado. Always tell them "no guacamole" at Mexican restaurants. But I would love the fruit part!
