This was average; left out the celery and instead added added some celery seed. No one seemed to really like this.

I used clementine orange sections instead of the nectarine, although mandarin oranges would probably be good too. As I try to stay away/reduce sugar, I substituted nonfat plain yogurt, 1 tsp. of vanilla & 1 tsp Splenda for the lemon yogurt. I suppose I could experiment & add some lemon juice. I'd also use only one stalk of celery next time. I may substitute grapes for the dried cranberries as well so there'd be natural sweetness instead of more sugar. If you're going to serve this for guests, I'd suggest draining the fruit before serving & then adding the yogurt & nuts as it gets a bit liquidy.

I was looking for a different fruit salad for a wedding reception and tried this. Very good. I toasted the walnuts and since I couldn't find 8 oz. of lemon yogurt used 2 - 6 oz. and it was great. I also added 1/2 salad dressing for a little taste. Will add grapes and canteloupe next time.

I thought it tasted just like fruit with yogurt. I added strawberries which were good, but turned everything pink. It's nice for everyday but not good enough for company.

An excellent, easy and well-received salad. Were I to make it again, I'd eliminate the walnuts, I think, and add some grapes.

Very yummy. Sometimes I put almond slivers in it or you vanilla Le Creme. Would be great for parties.

This salad is soooo refreshing. It has become a family favorite which they don't mind having 4 to 5 times a month. The lemon yogurt is great, but so is vanilla and key lime. I have also cut the sweetness of the other flavors of yogurt by adding a half carton of plain non-fat yogurt to the flavored one. By using half plain and half flavored, the taste of the fruit is allowed to shine through. YUM!

Very different taste from the same old fruit salad. I enjoyed the combination of tastes and textures (although I did leave out the celery, which I detest). A nice healthy addition to any meal.

I find myself using this recipe quite often for a great low-carb breakfast. I use whatever fruit I have on hand and make enough to last a couple of days. The nuts, cranberries, and yogurt make a satisfying but light meal.

This was so easy and SO good!! I took it to a brunch that featured only breakfast foods (maybe we should have eaten earlier in the day- ha, ha!), so I skipped the celery and used mandarin oranges and red seedless grapes instead. I also added the dried cranberries and walnuts just before serving. I will make this again and again. Thanks, Tracy!

This was such a quick, easy, and healthy recipe! My husband and I loved it--fought over the left overs! I left out the celery and walnuts then used a can of mandarin oranges instead of nectarines. It was great! The lemon yogurt is definately the must in this recipe!!

Excellent! Used vanilla yogurt instead of lemon (wasn't available) and canned mandarins instead of nectarine. Tasty and satisfying snack food instead of reaching for a sweet!

My family really enjoyed this fruit salad. Especially my son & me who love fruit I was a little leary about using the lemon yogurt. It gave it a wonderful, tasty, creamy sauce. My son informed me, we have to serve this for every holiday meal!

I also doubled this recipe and took it to Christmas dinner. I used 2 red apples, 2 green apples, a can of mandarine oranges, celery, 1 container each of lemon and vanilla yogurt, and I added the dried cranberries and walnuts just before serving to preserve texture and crunch. I received several compliments on the salad, and my husband loved it. (For next time, I will probably strain the yogurts first using a coffee filter, as there was quite an accumulation of liquid at the bottom of the dish.) Very enjoyable salad.

I doubled this recipe and made it for our family Christmas dinner. People were fighting to take home the small amount left over after dinner! In addition, I got calls the next day asking for the recipe. It was a huge hit with my family!

This is essentially a "Waldorf Salad" - just fine but nothing special. Also, it makes so much more than 4 servings - unless the servings are huge!
