  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
  • 1 tablespoon honey (optional, for added sweetness)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Ingredients:

  4. Combine and Freeze:
    • Pour the creamy dressing mixture over the fruit and marshmallow mixture.
    • Gently fold everything together until the fruit and marshmallows are coated evenly with the creamy dressing.
  5. Freeze the Salad:
