Notes

Choose fruits that are just ripe to ensure the best natural sweetness and a firm texture that holds up when tossed.
Pat the fruit dry after washing to prevent the dressing from becoming watery or thin.
Similar sized fruit pieces create a more attractive presentation and make the salad easier to eat in balanced bites.
If you prefer a lighter and zestier version you can replace the yogurt dressing with a simple mix of honey lime juice and fresh mint.
Wait until the very last minute to add and coat the bananas to prevent them from browning or getting too soft.
