Helpful Hints:

Ø Dairy-free or vegan? Swap plain Greek yogurt with a dairy free or plant-based substitute yogurt such as almond, cashew, coconut, macadamia nut or oat milk.

Ø Apples, peaches, & pears brown easily, sprinkle the reserved lemon juice over the fruit to delay the browning process.

Ø Cut sturdier fruits-mango, & pineapple into wedges or spears.

Ø Compost mango & pineapple peels, apple & grape stalks.

Ø Re-fresh remaining dip next day with white balsamic vinegar.
