Fresh Fruit with Warm Honey Yogurt Topping
Level: Easy Prep:  Yield: 4 servings
Total: 15 minutes Inactive:  Serving Size: 1 cup fruit, ¼ cup topping

Ingredients

  • 4 cups of fresh fruit, such as berries, melons, pears, plums, peaches or a combination
  • 1 lemon
  • 1 cup nonfat vanilla yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons honey 

Directions

  1. Wash and cut fruits. Rinse and zest lemon using the small holes on a box grater.
  2. Divide fruit evenly among four bowls.
  3. Combine yogurt, honey and lemon zest in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for one minute. Stir well.
  4. Drizzle honey yogurt topping over the fruit and serve.

Cook's Note

  • For the best price, use whatever fruits are in season. You can also use thawed frozen fruit, but be sure to drain well before adding it to the bowls.
  • If you do not have a microwave, warm the honey yogurt topping on the stove in a small skillet over low heat.
  • Add dried fruit, such as raisins, dried figs, dates, prunes, or cranberries, to the fresh fruit.
  • Use juice from the lemon in another recipe, such as Herb Roasted Chicken with Vegetables.
