Holiday Fruit Salad-Ensalada de Frutas #ensaladadefrutas

The holidays are here and the food is abundant! This holiday fruit salad or ensalada de frutas is so easy and delicious, you may be preparing it year round. The sweetened sour cream combined with the fresh fruits and crunch of the pecans is just right! I really enjoy preparing this ensalada de frutas when the apples are in peak season here in New York. Besides granny smith and macintosh, I sometimes like to mix in some Cortland or Honeycrisp apples. And I know is easy and convenient to pick up a can of pineapple, but I really suggest using fresh pineapple for this recipe. Of course I am kind of partial to fresh pineapple. This recipe is a great addition to any family dinner. From Thanksgiving to Christmas and even during the summer months. During Christmas I sometimes like to add maraschino chopped cherries in syrup. It gives the salad a light pink color and makes it look festive. And if you are looking to lighten up this recipe by avoiding the sour cream, a plain greek yogurt would work just fine for this recipe. #ensaladadefrutas #holidays

    If I’m substituting the sour cream for Greek yogurt, do you suggest I use the Mex crema?

      I would add a little bit of crema so the Greek yogurt doesn’t seem so sour maybe. Or taste it first without the crema.
