Ingredients

• 1 cup strawberries, sliced

• 1 cup grapes (red or green), halved

• 1 cup pineapple chunks (fresh or canned, drained)

   In a separate bowl, mix whipped topping (or yogurt), sour cream, honey, and vanilla until smooth.

3. Combine
   Gently fold the dressing into the fruit until evenly coated.
