Recipe - Cantaloupe Blueberry Salad With Creamy Yogurt Dressing

If you're looking for a tasty and light sweet summer fruit salad, this one is easy and delicious. Mild, sweet and juicy cantaloupe gets a pop of citrus flavor, and sets off the darker tangyness of ripe blueberries, combined in a light creamy yogurt dressing - a match made in heaven if there ever was one! (A big bowl of this without the lettuce also makes a great breakfast!)

Creamy Dressed Cantaloupe Blueberry Salad
(Makes 8 small salads.)

Ingredients:

1 (8 oz) container vanilla yogurt
1 Tbsp lemon juice
1 1/2 tsp poppy seeds
1 tsp orange zest
1 medium size cantaloupe, cleaned and sliced into crescent shapes
24 Boston lettuce leaves
2 cups fresh blueberries

Directions:
  1. Combine the yogurt, lemon juice, poppy seeds, and orange zest in a bowl and whisk until smooth and creamy; cover and put in refrigerator to chill.
  2. Divide the lettuce leaves between 8 chilled salad plates, then top with the sliced cantaloupe, arranging evenly between plates.
  3. Spoon 1/4 cup of the blueberries over each salad, then drizzle the yogurt dressing over each salad and serve immediately.
