The textures and flavors all play off each other in a surprisingly elegant way. Best of all, you can whip it up with whatever fruit and bread you’ve got on hand.

To make the dish, Lopez-Alt starts with the dressing, which is a mix of plain yogurt, a touch of olive oil, a splash of vanilla extract, a drizzle of honey and both the zest and juice of a tangerine. Set that aside while you chop your fruit salad. Any combination of berries, bananas, citrus, grapes and/or melon will do.
Now, take your leftover French toast and cut it into crouton-sized cubes. These should be bite-sized and easy to scoop up with a spoon or fork. If the toast is soft, you can toast the cubes in a skillet or oven for a few minutes to revive that golden crispness. Toss these warm or room-temperature French toast croutons into the dressed fruit salad, giving it all a gentle stir.

Easy Variations to Make This Recipe Your Own
Don’t limit yourself to French toast. Cubes of day-old cinnamon rolls, waffles or pancakes can become equally delicious croutons. You can even crisp them up in a pan with a little butter and sugar before adding them to the salad.
Use coconut yogurt and a bit of maple syrup instead of honey for a plant-based version that’s just as creamy and flavorful. Almond or oat-based yogurt also works well. Toss in a handful of granola, toasted nuts or seeds for added crunch.
This "salad" is more than just a smart way to use leftovers. It’s a fresh, creative dish that brings together comfort food and fruit in a totally unexpected way. It works as a weekend brunch centerpiece, a fun after-school snack or even a healthy-ish dessert.
