Ingredients

4 cups of fresh fruit, such as berries, melons, pears, plums, peaches or a combination

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

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.
