Fruit-Filled Melons

Ingredients

• 2 large cantaloupes
• 1 medium orange, peeled and sectioned
• 1 medium apple, cored and coarsely chopped
• 1 medium peach, peeled, pitted and thinly sliced
• 1 cup blueberries
• 1/2 cup strawberries, hulled and halved
• 1 8-ounce carton pineapple yogurt
• 2 tablespoons mayonnaise or salad dressing
• 2 teaspoons brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon grated gingerroot or 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
• Leaf lettuce

Instructions

1. Cut each cantaloupe in half and remove the seeds. Use a melon baller to scoop out pulp, reserving shells. Set aside 2 cups melon balls, reserving one melon for another use. Trim a thin slice from the bottom of each melon shell.
2. In a bowl mix the 2 cups melon balls, orange, apple, peach, blueberries, and strawberries.
3. For dressing, stir together yogurt, mayonnaise, brown sugar, and gingerroot.
4. Line each melon shell with lettuce leaves. Divide fruit among melon shells. Top each with one-fourth of the dressing.
5. Note: if desired, sprinkle with lemon juice to keep fruit from darkening (see tip, page 351).
