I made this yesterday and it's very refreshing. Very good. I used sunflower seeds, but after reading the other reviews I wished I had something else. Pecans...almonds...something else instead. I'll definitely make this again though.

I didn't think this was QUITE as special as the reviews had suggested - essentially it's just strawberries, grapes & apple pieces with a bit of yogurt, raisins & sunflower seeds....very simple, almost not worth doing (I think plain strawberries with cream are really good). But if you're trying to find a way to mix things up a bit, this is a decent variation on a theme.

This was a wonderful combination of textures and flavors! I thought the celery sounded odd, but it all went so well together and after 1 bite, I see why this is such a hit. I didn't have sunflower seeds so I used some toasted almond slivers instead. This made an excellent lunch. Thank You!

This salad is delicious! I have made it several times since I found the recipe - including for two separate Easter dinners. It's a beautiful salad and so healthy! Once when I wanted to make the salad and forgot I didn't have grapes I substituted frozen blueberries. This works o.k. if you add the berries frozen before chilling for 2 hours and if you eat all the salad immediately - otherwise the berries can be too juicy.

Super easy and delicious, too! I made this as part of a meal for a friend recovering from surgery. I did not add the celery, but it probably would have added a nice crunch. I didn't have sunflower seeds, either, so I used pecans. I saved a little for my daughter to try and she loved it. This will be my "go to" fruit salad from now on.

This is SO good! I didn't have sunflower seeds (they were all stuck together) so used walnuts instead and had the sun-maid raisins and cranberries. IT WAS SO GOOD. I love this.

This was good! The yogurt added a nice touch of sweetness that made it more exciting than just eating plain fruit, and the sunflower seeds added a nice crunch. Even though I'm not a big fan of celery I didn't leave it out--though I may not use it next time, that's my own personal issue. Those who like celery will enjoy the extra crunch it gives. Oh, the raisins were a nice, chewy addition as well. Overall, great texture.
