Colby cheese fruit salad is made with Colby cheese, apples, grapes, strawberries, blueberries, yogurt and walnuts. Serve with breakfast and brunch recipes like quiches, pancakes and waffles.
Light and refreshing, this fruit salad is a nice addition to balance a heavier meal.
French vanilla yogurt and honey provides a natural sweetness to complement the fresh grapes, apples, blueberries, and strawberries. Just about any fruit that is in season can be used to make this fruit recipe a family favorite.
I prefer Colby cheese in this recipe as it is a semi-hard yellow cheese and has a milder flavor than cheddar cheese. The cheese was developed in the 1874 by Joseph Steinwand at his cheese factory near Colby, Wisconsin. Being from Wisconsin myself, Colby cheese is in my opinion one of the best tasting cheeses on the market.
If Colby cheese is unavailable, you can use cheddar cheese instead, but the flavor will be distinctly different.
