2 large cantaloupe melons (cut in half and seeds removed)
1 orange, peeled and sectioned
1 apple, cubed
1 peach, peeled and sliced
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 cup fresh blueberries
1/2 cup cut fresh strawberries
-----------------------

Dressing

1 carton (6 ounces) creamy French vanilla yogurt

----------------------------
Kitchen Equipment Needed

Melon Baller (or small teaspoon)
Large Mixing Bowl

Instructions:

Step 1: With a melon baller (or small teaspoon), scoop out 2-3 cups of cantaloupe balls and set aside. Leave enough cantaloupe in the shell to be scooped out and eaten as part of the fruit.

Step 2: In a large bowl, combine orange, apple, and peach and sprinkle with lemon juice. Toss to coat evenly.

Step 3: Stir in your cantaloupe balls, blueberries, and cut strawberries.

Step 4: Divide fruit evenly into 4 portions and fill the cantaloupe slightly over the top. If you have leftover fruit, just refrigerate and have it for a snack or another meal.

Step 5: In a small bowl, combine the yogurt, honey and cinnamon.

Step 6: Top your fruit filled cantaloupe with the yogurt mixture.

Step 7: Garnish with a sprig of mint, if desired.

Step 8: Serve fresh and cold for breakfast or brunch with muffins or a delicious quick bread.

Yield: 4 servings. Can be made an hour ahead and kept refrigerated.
