Ingredients:
| 2 | medium bartlett pears (or other ripe but firm pears), diced |
| 2 | medium apples (a fresh, crisp variety like honeycrisp, cripps, or pink lady is best), diced |
| 1 cup | red grape, halved |
| 1/3 cup | greek yogurt (can substitute your favorite plain or vanilla non-dairy yogurt – see notes) |
| 2 teaspoons | freshly grated lemon zest (from 1 medium lemon) |
| 1 tablespoon | fresh lemon juice (from the zested lemon) |
| 2 tablespoons | pure maple syrup (can substitute honey) |
| 1/2 teaspoon | pure vanilla extract |
| 1/2 teaspoon | cinnamon |
| 1/4 teaspoon | ground nutmeg |
| 1/3 cup | pecans, chopped |
Directions:
Place pears, apples, and grapes in a large bowl. Toss gently to combine. Set aside. To a small bowl, add the yogurt, lemon zest, lemon juice, maple syrup, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Use a wire whisk to blend well. Drizzle dressing over the fruit. Toss gently until fruit is coated. Scoop into bowls and sprinkle with pecans. Serve immediately.
