Ingredients:
2 large cantaloupe melons, halved and seeded
1 medium orange, peeled and sectioned

2 tablespoons unsweetened applesauce
1 teaspoon honey
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
4 large lettuce leaves
Directions:

2. In a large bowl, combine orange, apple and peach. Sprinkle with lemon juice; toss gently. Stir in cantaloupe balls, blue berries and strawberries.
3. In a small bowl, combine the yogurt, applesauce, honey and ginger. Line melon shells with lettuce; add fruit. Top with yogurt mixture. Yield: 4 servings.
